Excess moisture in fish room

[christyf5]

I had a small dehumidifier in my previously small fish room. Its currently in my basement with the tank and I empty it daily. Worked great for a small room. It still fills up quickly but I honestly don't think we have a huge humidity problem (although the fact that it fills up probably says differently )

Oh man dumping the water tray everyday seems like adding more choir to the already huge list from my tank.

No windows in my fish room. It's in the middle of my house.

My 220gal system is in a 7'x8' room. I'm using a 110cfm bathroom exhaust fan (draws about 1 amp) on a dehumidistat. I also have a 4" hole in the exterior wall to draw fresh (typically cool) outdoor air inside. The humidity in there usually sits around 45% with little to no impact on the rest of the house.

Dehumidifiers produce a lot of heat, require a lot of electricity (our old one drew 3 amps and couldn't keep up) and are typically much noisier than exhaust fans.
