Hi folk,
Have any Waterbox owners (Peninsula 7225 or similar cabinets) done anything about humidity that gathers in the cabinet?
Background
The Waterbox Peninsula 7225 cabinet is configured with three chambers:
Right now and until I complete plumbing work to connect the new mixing station to the tank:
Brainstorming
I was planning to add some ventilation using the included cut-outs between the chambers. The idea would be to draw moisture in from chamber 3 > chamber 2> chamber 1 > outside of the cabinet. I'd have a second set of ventilation to allow air to be drawn in if it is necessary (is it?).
I don't know where I can source ventilation that is safe to use with humid air. Would stuff you find on Amazon work and be safe/durable (see example)?
Have you installed active ventilation into your cabinets for this purpose? If so, what did you use, and has it helped?
Product links, build photography, etc, would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Background
The Waterbox Peninsula 7225 cabinet is configured with three chambers:
- Chamber 1: Plumbing chamber with a large ventilation cutout for use with equipment like a chiller
- Chamber 2: Sump (included)
- Chamber 3: ATO (included)
- Chamber 1: Plumbing and main controller board
- Chamber 2: Sump (as designed)
- Chamber 3: Secondary controller board, dosing, external reactors, and testing
Right now and until I complete plumbing work to connect the new mixing station to the tank:
- Chamber 2: There is substantial condensation that forms on the doors and walls of this chamber.
- Chamber 3: I used the included ATO reservoir, but it does not include a lid. There is substantial condensation that forms on the doors and walls of this chamber. I switched the WB reservoir (20g) for an existing unused Trigger reservoir (10g) to prevent evaporation. However, it appears that the condensation isn't from the evaporation of the reservoir alone (expected given sump proximity). Still, I expected a marginal improvement.
