Cold weather humidity

[fishmaster818]

I live in new England where it gets pretty cold. The humidity in bed room where my tank is, is crazy. It's not bad during the summer because I have the ac on but mold is growing all over my windows. I know I can add a dehumidifier but I don't want to add 10g of rodi water a day lol. Can anyone help me please

Covering the tank will reduce your evap considerably. How big is you tank? I have an open top 50g and it evaps about 1g per day. I also have a whole house humidifier for the winter so we don't get too dry.

Your evap shouldn't be terrible then. Do you keep the door open? What type of heat do you have? Forced air or radiator?

Double whammy. Open the door to let the air circulate. There is nowhere for the warm air to go.
