Can you install a vent to the outside in the ceiling above the tank? that's what i did and it keeps the humidity down nicely. Also, you may need to run a dehumidifier. Just make sure you get a GOOD vent, or it won't be able to keep up.

Otherwise, the HRV is the way to go

An HRV would be the ideal way to go, but if you're on a budget try one of these inline fans...super quiet and move a ton of air.
