ANyone have any ideas how I could dehumidify a small closet (3x4x6.5)? I want to run co2 and dont want to exhaust it to drop the Humidity down, but the regular 40 pt is kinda bulky and would get in the way of the light if hung. ANyone have a smaller one? I've seen smaller ones at walmart but they have no settings, just on and off. I guess I could just try one and see if it works, but I'd rather know than experiment.

I bought this one from WalMart OnLine ...
WindChaser Compact Dehumidifier - Wal-Mart (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4532762)
it seems well-made, hopefully will last awhile ... mine easily keeps the hydroponic cabinet at 60%-65% during our current cool, wet weather, and plants are using a gallon+ a day ... doesn't fill up the reservoir very fast ... seems to only take about a 1/4 pint a day out ... doesn't seem like much to me, but humidity's where I want it, so I won't bitch :jointsmile:

With a correct exhaust, you should not need a dehumidifier, unless you are living somewhere WICKED damp or growing in a dungeonlike cellar.

Stinky, I mean for when I run co2. I don't wanna dump the gas every time the humidity gets above 50%. The controller I'm getting has seperate outlets so you can use a dehumidifier instead of dumping the gas. That way If I can keep the temps under 93 F or so (I have an air-cooled light) then I'll use less co2. See pics of my setup here..

Oh! I totally missed the part about the CO2. I've never dealt with small space dehumidifiers though. Sorry.
