I have the CAP unit but never used it so I took it out and set it up in the smoking room with a 6" hurricane fan and a carbon filter to play around. You're right, there is a switch to have an min idle mode. Seems like it works OK. The fan doesn't hum on reduced speeds but when sitting on a table that resonates the sound a bit it sorta sounds like the power is pulsed to reduce the speed.
5K is going to be a challenge to cool for sure. I'll be watching to see what you come up with for fans.
But in any case I hear you about being lazy, I just want to have the setup run like a machine on autopilot. That's one reason I love Blumats and coco in Airpots. Which reminds me I recall you saying 1 regular carrot in a 5 gal was recommended at Sustainable Village. Seems pushing it to me. I've never run bigger than 3 gallon and I know 1 will cover that fine but I recall the Blumat site saying that was about the max. With just 4 pots I'd just double up to be sure.
And a happy new year to you too!
