Combining Passive and Active Humidification

[Sadden]

Hey guys so my aristocrat is almost done

Looking at combining passive and active Humidification , for the active im going to have Bob's Set and Forget which i have heard very good things about.

Im looking to add beads (HCM) for a couple reasons.

a) have a buffer in the event of a power outage

b) the beads ammonia absorbing properties

Obviously the beads will not be the main humidifcation element , how much should i add. A percentage of the reccomended amount 25 , 50 , 75% or what the calculator reccomends? (probably gonna double the reccomended amount anyways , im gonna have space to spare just curoius as to what the gurus think)


Also looking to do something similar in a desktop im going to convert to a infused stick humi when the Aristocrat gets here. Except Heartfelt or Cigar sciences as the "active" humidification (easy to recharge) and HCM for the ammonia scavenging properties again. Will the HCM and (HF or CS) beads work together.

And finaly how do Cigar sciences and Heartfelt beads stack up against one another. Looks like they are nearly identical to me.
