N70SJ Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have my ideas but they are not always the best. How do you deal with humidity/Evaporation if you have a 200 gallon +\- tank in your home? My system evaporated 8.9 gallons a day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vance164 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I believe a hood or glass lids can help I know it does on smaller freshwater setups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will reduce evap down there. As for the DT in the house, I'd just run a dehumidifier. I have a unit with a 2.5 gallon bucket and I can easily fill that up daily. I only run it in the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I bought a dehumidifier recently myself. My gf told me my house smelled like mildew and she was right. This thing wasn't needing to be emptied a couple times a day for the first week. Now it's only every couple of days. Rainy winters with an aquarium will leave you with some serious moisture problems otherwise Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
