I am not that "technical" about my tank...yet. But it is definately something I would consider in the future - less room for human error!!

Oh and my tank is a 180gal with about a couple of gallons of topoff /day.
I think I would have to vent outside in winter and inside in summer as it's the reverse here, winters are humid and summer is dryer. i have NO humidity issiues in the summer as all of my windows are always open. That could work...
