Humidity Issues

[Usol]

Hello everyone. I am looking for a little advice. I have a 110 gallon tank and I live in a 2 bedroom apt. My house thanx to my tank and the fact that i live on the inter coastal doesn't help In Miami.

My house feels humid and it smells of humidity what do you guys suggest i do to solve this issue. I keep my AC on at 75 degrees everyday.

I am desperate to solve my problem please help

Dehumidifier, it will also help cool your home by taking out humidty

The AC dehumiditfies the air before it can start to cool it. My water has a sea smell when I do not run carbon, maybe running carbon through a reactor and see if that helps.

Move to Colorado, where our humidity is in the single digits!!!! J/K try the dehumidifier as mentioned.

Im running a dehumidifier and as mentioned the AC is set to 75, In miami that bassically means it is running most of the time. The carbon Idea is something ill give a try as well, thanx for the replys lets see if anyone else has any ideas

I agree that a dehumidifier is the way to go but I would caution you to incidences of mold. Look in the corner of your ceiling and around any clutter, possibly in a closet. These areas will show mold first. This is the real issue with humidity beyond the comfort. If you do see any mold forming you can do a 4 to 1 ratio solution of water to bleach... or better yet get a product called triple action 20 to kill any mold. I don't really like to use bleach around my tank cuz it fills the air with noxious chemicals. hth good luck

lazyreefer: Maybe in the midwest where we live in the winter... but this guy lives in Miami. Its pretty humid there to begin with. I guess you are the lazyreefer so that is a fitting response. Cheers :)
