![]() Ya, the base of the windows are starting to grow mold. Attacking them with bleach tomorrow... Most of them are just soaked, I've had enough.... Have both the hallway and bathroom exhaust fans on now, I can feel it pulling a breeze through the house. We'll see how well that works. Shut 2 150W lights off on the 150g too, only a 250W on now. to lessen the evap. It's still been climbing from 78 to 81 every night. Have a 6" clip on fan on top, blowing across water, under the halides 24/7 right now. House is usually 69. raised temp to 71.
BTW, Im in a Mobile home too, not a house. In case that makes any differenmt how they trap moisture? I kmow I keep callin it a house, guess I'm afraid of being called trailer trash LMAO....

![]() I know nothing about humidity but do you got a lot of heat trace under your trailer? I had to do a service call and redo some splices on trace about 4 years ago this time of year... There was a fog so dense under there couldn't see inches from my nose. Had to turn off the heat trace and run a fan for an hour, that cleared it up. Just brainstorming here.

![]() Dan, I also live in a modular/mobile, {whatever a mobile is, I,m not sure}. If newer like mine, they are very well insulated and require good air exchange. I have a good whole house exchanger but certainly not efficient like the HRV units, {the only way to go}, I had in my houses.
If you notice most my recent build threads relate to this and part of the current reason I now have a small aquarium, is to keep evaporation problems to a minimum and still enjoy the hobby. Ours was a disply when we purchased it otherwise it would have been ordered with an HRV installed. That being said, I think its hard to put one in after market, asone has not access to run vents, etc, without removing the complete underbelly insulation and protection.
