10 GALLON IN AN PANTRY ROOM WITHOUT WINDOWS

[LeckyLegs]

It's a really small space with only a door slightly open for ventilation. Would a 10 gallon cause humidity and mold problems ?

I don't think anyone can answer this without knowing the entire setup... lighting, tank size, sump, etc?

Is this like a bedroom closet that's only 38ins wide?

A quarantine tank with a lid 90% on the top, hob filter only no sump or skimmer. A basic led light.

I have my 90 gallon in the closet of a small room for a wall mount viewed to my living room. No top and haven't had mold issues in over 2 years.

If suspect will be a problem.just install air bricks as really cheap and very quick and easy to install.
Youtube video above using circular saw.but ive used a drill to drill few holes then just bolster chisel and lump hammer and mortar up behind yourself.

I got my qt tank in cupboard with no windows also and havent seen no issues yet but im on early days as only 3 months

I sent the wrong thing. I can't unfortunately do stuff like that when it's not a bought house

Maybe use of fans inside pantry facing gap in door to push moisture out pantry.
And ha ha word pantry i not heard used once in last 13 years since moved to liverpool but back home in yorkshire ( england ) used often.
Blast from the past ^_^

Haha I had to type in what I was trying to describe on Google and pantry came up. Also there's an electrical switch box in the room so I don't think it's wise to have a tank in there now lol

A cover should solve that pretty easy. If it's still a problem you may have to buy a dehumidifier. You can get one on Amazon for less than $100, just don't get the cheapest one.

For that small of a tank you could just use damprid

That could work. I'd have the cover slightly open for gas exchange and hob filter so there will be slight humidity
