To everyone's point on the beads - GET THEM. And here's why...
I have a Credo, a Humigar (both floral sponge humidfication units). I also have a drymistat (crystal tube). I have two digital hygros. Thought I could manage my humidor & coolidor with the aforementioned. I can get it to come pretty close, but it fluctuates and I worry between having the wrong humidity level AS WELL AS having a bad read on my hygrometers (even after the salt test). This takes all the guesswork out of it - and as NH mentioned - keeps them at a 65% equilibrium.
If you have a 200 humi - get a 1/2 lb of the beads, one or two empty 1oz or 2oz containers for your desktop - and you'll be set for a while. Best $20 you'll ever spend.
