Is it really that necessary? or will regular paint suffice.

Is the room ventiliated? If not then marine paint is a must IMO, unless it's a huge room where the humidity won't effect it that much.

I have an exhaust fan in the room, the room itself is about 75 sqft. I am going to have the fan on a timer, what kind of interval do you think I should set it at? I was thinking 10 to 15 mins every hour or 2.

You'd be fine just doing a couple coats of Killz primer or another water proof primer. A nice neutral colour is good, red is proven to promote stress/angry feelings while softer colours promote sleep/relaxation. Good old generic white or off white is just plain non commital, it wont stress you out and it wont put you to sleep. Oh yeah, I'd go for flat, not glossy or you'll end up with glare off lights etc... just my two cents. I had my fish room done up in classy vapor barrier with pink insulation in the background, very hi tec and very trendy...

The walls in my basment were painted with a lower gloss flat finish and every time water dripped down the wall from a splash during maintenance left a mark behind--even after lots of scrubbing when i eventually took the tank down. A little glare may be a trade off for a more cleanable surface IMO and IMWO (in my wife's opinion) who did most of the scrubbing
