Basement moisture

[MarvinsReef]

I was just curious how everyone with basement reef setups manage moisture in their basement from tank evaporation. My main tank is upstairs and all my plumbing is in the basement. I have about 200 gallons of water volume in the basement. I have 2 small basement hopper windows open to help. Not sure if it is enough.

I have a dehumidifier down there.
Small circulation fans help to circulate the air around.
Thinking of putting a few on timers as well.

Could hook up a humidity controlled exhaust fan.

Air conditioner and a dehumidifier

Basement windows by themselves won’t help a single hit when the humidity outside is in the upper 70s or above.
Dehumidifier is the best way to deal with humidity in the basement.

Ok humidifier and or exhaust fan was my thoughts as well. Normally it has been fine until this last heat and humidity we have been dealing with.

In my fish room I have 2 windows exhaust fans that I take out in winter and a fan moving air. They are 24/7 nonstopping working all summer.

I tried everything when I had all my tanks in basement , at that time I had 600 or so gallons of water. What worked best were window exhaust fans. Cheap and effective
