In all seriousness if you already have an existing vent line the solution is a bit of a no brainier. Install a fan, there are many other options over a bathroom fan, best would an inline unit and checking hydroponic supply stores would be a good start. After that wiring up a humidistat is incredibly simple and not expensive at all, analog units are like $10.

Use a dehumidifier, then plumb the water from this unit back to your top off water. Less water makeup!!!! But lotso electricity for sure...lol
