Running a new dehumidifier near my tank to control odor and moisture. Can the water be used for ATO water? Or is this just going to wreak havoc?

I wouldnt... any airborne contaminants will be in the condensate.

Not worth the risk

believe water condenses on aluminum plates inside a dehumidifier so might have heavy metals leaching into it.

It may also have exposed metal internally that leaches copper etc.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
