That's what I've been doing, turning on both the range hood and bathroom vents in the morning before I go to work. My tank is in the kitchen/dining room/living room (one long room), so when I come home from work, the air is sort of stuffy. I have my home theater in the living room, so I'm afraid of what the humidity may be doing to it.

Turning on the range hood definitely helps, but it's also kinda loud during the day (when my dogs are trying to sleep).

So I was wondering if a portable dehumidifier is a better way to go?

3. Run your furnace fan all the time to bring in dryer air from outside - also when running your exhaust fans you need to makeup the humid air your exhausting.
