Here's the ResMed Chart, showing the different mask settings. If you're using an Activa LT, the setting should be Activa.

I dont know why it wasnt set to that but it will be shortly

I solved the moisture problem by ordering a cover for the long tubing. It worked.

I ordered one of those and it seems to help. Though i still have some issues. Tonight will be my 1st night with the chin strap and I bought some of those polident strips to seal my lips. So we shall see how it goes tonight. If i cant get the readings down I will end up with a full face mask probably.
