humidity!

I have 3 seperate humidity meters on each floor....each one reads between 42 and 50% for humidity. Should I still be getting condensation on windows?

What is the outside ambient temperature and humidity? Do you think your tank has an effect on your humisity readings?

like a cold glass of soda. Are you running a humidifier also or is this all evaporation? We are only slightly warmer here, and I'll get some comdensation at roughly 35%.

One ugly partial solution is that window shrink wrap. The stuff you put around the window casing and then using a hair dryer shrink it to an airtight fit. That and duct tape.

You have been around since 2003, is this a new problem, such as new place, or lager tank?

A lager tank. I sound like a lush. I've got a vat in my basement.

Larger tank. read larger tank.
