Dehumidifier in a Fish Room

[MarkoD]

so i put a dehumidifier into my fish room and it does a great job lowering the humidity. but it puts out a lot of heat and was heating up the room and tank

so i decided to disconnect the bathroom style fan and vent the dehumidifier all the way outside. but still for some reason it seems to be heating the room a lot. (8 feet of the exhaust pipe is not insulated and probably releasing heat back into the room)

anyone have any suggestions?

I installed an HRV.

Marko, I've never used one, but 2 thoughts

Can the unit push air the 8 feet, or does it need a booster fan ?
Does all the heat created go out the pipe ?

As I said, I've never used one

The total pipe length is about. 40 feet. And it pushes great. Warm air gets out. It's Just the first 8 feet that are not indulated and the pipe heats up

seems you've figured it already, insulate the pipe though HRV are nice

I guess my question is, if I'm venting the warm dry exhaust outside, am I actually lowering the humidity in my fish room?
