fins Posted July 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I do cover the tanks that I have covers for. I just broke one the other day. But water vapor still mangaes to get out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interfecus Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Get those chemical dehumidifiers such as "hippo" if you can't do anything else. I used one of those (not the hippo brand but the same thing) last winter in my bedroom where I have 2 aquaria. The condensation on the window was literally overflowing the windowsill before I got it. To make it worse, my bed is right next to the window! A dehumidfier on the windowsill completely stopped this. You can buy large packs of the chemicals very cheaply and they last for ages.
