Condensation problems ...

[elaine]

Hi Guys,

Now the weather has turned colder I am having condensation problems with my fish room, despite it being in the house ( nicked the boys games room lol ). Can anyone recommend a good quality, effective dehumidifier that doesn't cost an arm and a leg ?

Cheers
Elaine

The cure is insulation and tight fitting cover glass. I suspect a window somewere? This is the point were cold air will enter once it hits the warm air from the tanks the water in the cold air will be forced above what is called "The Dew Point" and it will cling to every thing . You can try insulatiing the tanks? a thin layer of poly foam?
I would not try any form of dehumidifier from my point due to the cost and the fact that it at some point will fail and your back to square one.

Regards Bob

maybe a normal exchaust fan like they have on a dryer or kitchen hoover ? thia would suck out the excess humidity. just an idea cheers jk
