I was just wondering how many people have a tank down in the basement, and what they are doing to fight the humidity.
Our basement is unfinished, and there is no air circulation down there. I went downstairs for tank dosing and was met with a wall of humidity. I was going to run out and buy a de-humidifier, but reading this older article made me weary: http://www.air-n-water.com/article/dehumidifier-catch-fire-recall.htm. My tank is an 80 gallon frag tank, 4x2' foot print, and evaporates approx 8-10 gal/ week.
are there other measures (ie safer) that can be taken besides installing a dehumidifer? I am really nervous about mold, because paper goods down in the basement are starting to get that damp feeling.
