Humidity problems anyone?

[Socalreefer4816]

So does anyone have humidity problems in the room their tank is in. My tank is in a small 10x10 room. If I keep the windows closed they will get moist and even with the windows open a small amount of mildew is growing in the closet.

What do people do to help with the humidity?

I installed an exhaust fan in my room. Connected it to a timer so it kicks on the first 15 minutes of every hour

Installed an bathroom exhaust fan to the part of the basement where my tank is and ran flexible duct to my dryer vent and tied it in to the exhaust vent. It senses humidity and turns it on which is all the time, lol

Worth it!! I actually think I'm going adjust the timer where it runs more. I had a buddy over yesterday who wanted to see all the equipment. When we opened the door, he said it felt a litte humid in there.
