I have a 180 gallon tank and about 70 gallon sump along with a 15 gallon fuge.
I am working on "sealing" the room. It is in the basement. The whole setup is in the basement, I made it in wall so the entire tank setup is in a room about 5' X 12'. I am curious as to how much I should worry about humidity. I have installed the new and improved dry wall that is made of fiberglass, moisture and mold resistant, in the ceiling and on the inside walls. I have also painted the stand and the back side of the room has a moisture and insulation barrier. Do I need to do anything else?

I have read some people use the "plastic walling" but I think that would cause a rain forest effect.

So what are the opinions on this?

My fish room is always dry, but it hasn't been around during a summer yet. Everyone in my area that has fish rooms say that the heat is more of an issue that the humidity. I use an CAP AIR-1 humidity/temp controller that kicks an exhaust fan on whenever either my humidity or temp rises above my set points.

I live in FL and I have a 100 gallon rubbermaid sump w/ 15 gallon fuge that doesn't seem to cause any humidity issues. I guess if you wanted to be extra careful you could use "Green board." This is drywall that is used in wet environments like bathrooms.

Chris, could you post some pictures of your entire setup?
