I'm currently running a 400w mh/hps in a 48"x48"x80" tent, I want to keep my humidity around 60% for my seedlings in there but am having trouble regulating with a storebought humidifier. Can anyone recommend a digital one that has a decent sized tank, capable of running atleast 24 hours without needed a refill and can be set to a certain humidity percentage. links appreciated :)

Why? There is little to be gained by upping the humidity. I only bother increasing humidity when I screw up and put a plant in shock. In these cases I simply use a humidity dome, aka a plastic bag not sealed over the plant with sticks or similar to prop it up to not touch the plant (much.) Just basically reduce airflow and the plant will make it's own humidity.

Without a humidifier my tent can go as little as 20%...hence why I'm in need of a digital with a good size tank that can raise the humidity to optimal

As soon as those seedlings start to grow your going to need a DEhumidifier. I wouldn't waste the money. Exhaust less air. Close the tent up all the way. There are pretty easy ways to controll your environment every which way with tents. I veg in a tent with 1200 watts and I controll the humidity and temps with no AC.. I just open and close the tent more to control the temps. You can always pour some water on the floor of the tent. Or leave a 5 gallon bucket in the corner . I rarely ever hear people having too low of humidity in a tent

What if i told you the tent was in a poorly insulated area requiring a heater that is drying out the air. I don't see why I would ever need a dehumidifier. My levels are 20%, even for late flowering thats awfully low.
