I have one, so I will also chime in here and say YES! Plus there are other benefits like heat recovery and overall house circulation.

We have one in our place... I used to have just over 500gal of water in the house and we never had any buildup. The old house had noticeable humidity buildup with only 1 tank and did not have an HRV.

problem is that newer homes even though they are not R2000 are pretty air tight and HRVs are nec even without a fish tank, unfortunately they are not code in most places

What I was getting at is they are not required by the National Building Code, which is the model code for Canada. I do not know the eastern codes, but in SK, AB & BC they are not required. They are a very good idea as modern homes are sealed too well.

update
well my HRV is in and has been running a few weeks now. Its completely dried out the house. My doors open and the windows are dry. It took a bit of work to get the in flow/out flow pipes insulated so not to leak condensate all over the wall. Were really happy with it , saved the house. I have been bleaching the mold on the ceiling spots and will re paint. It had gotten quite serious. I saved a fair bit installing it myself. All in all a really good choice.
