yeah using a lg mini split.....2 4x8 table sog style....does the 65 pint dehuey run alot or just a night mostly....funny I was thinking of running the same sizes....I was told I need like a 155 pint dehuey...and a 435 cfm scrubber....I feel like both are too big for the room...room is 6'x 16'x 9'....thx again.

dehuey hardly runs at all during lights on. the ac handles that wonderfully. comes on at night to keep RH in check with lights off. yes my room is completely sealed. my room is 8 x 15 x 8.

I am have a mini split ac so theres no air exhausting from it I don't know if it dehumidifies at all yet as I'm still building the room.....are u running a mini split or conventional ac? been studying articles on sealed rooms stating that 25 to 30 pint dehuey per 1k light....whitch would be like 160 pint minimum for my 6k...

i run a mr slim 30k btu unit. put a hygrometer in your room and you will notice 40%-50% rh with lights on and the ac working to cool. works perfectly.
