make sure your furnace humidifier is off, get a dehumidify, and though it rarely runs, I have a bathroom type fan in the fish room above the sump to vent out the humid air, something to consider.
Little more involved a HRV or ERV

When I bought my house I put in a high efficiency furnace so I'm able to run my furnace fan on low 24/7 which helps dicipate the humidity throughout the house. I also have a fan mounted above my tank connected to a humidistat to vent air to the outside, although to my knowledge it's never turned on.
I have about 300 gallons in the basement.

Fan + dehum combination works best for me, I use a Drizair 1200 dehum, and a three speed blower fan. The blower keeps the moisture moving around the room and the dehum works way more efficiently this way. If you just use the dehum, and don't blow the air around then it will be about 50% less effective. Cheers-MM
