To an extent, yes. What your tank is doing is keeping cool with evaporative cooling. If you can find a way to reduce the heat before evaporative cooling is needed, then you'll have less humidity in the air to deal with. So, whether you use cooler running bulbs, smaller heaters, chiller, or even less fans would depend on your tank.

If it helps any, been there, done that, still there. My 29g tank evaporates about 2 gallons a day, so I get a lot of excess moisture. My whole house humidity stays between 55-60%. Ironically, I don't get too much condensation on the windows but it is still prevalent on days where the house doesn't have the heater on and it's stayed closed up for a while.
