Even factoring in your jungle of Orchids, and other plants, it sounds like there is something seriously wrong with your house. It sounds like the normal ventilation does not work. In Calgary, most people use humidifiers in the winter. It is not unusual for a humidifier to crank a couple of gallons of water into the house in a winter's day. I would be very surprised to see the evaporation from a few aquaria would exceed a couple of gallons. Are your soffit and attic vents plugged I wonder? :?: Deb is right, she has far more water sitting in her house than you do. If anyone should have a problem it should be her.
