First Time Aquarium

[FreshWaterTank]

Looking to setup my first FW tank somewhere around 29 gallons. My home is heated with infloor radiant heat and the humidity levels are general fairly low between 38-48%, will a tank of this size increase the overall humidity in the home. We live in a one level bungalow and sometimes run the HRV to bring in fresh air during the winter.

I can't see a 29 g aquarium being much of a humidity factor in a home - especially if you have a top on it. Even if it was open, it should be fairly negligible. If you really wanted to measure it, you could measure the humidity pre and post installation using a hygrometer.

One of the factors as well would be the size of the room and ventilation.
Just my two-cents.

Let us know what you're keeping and perhaps post a pic or two!
All the best!

Would not make any difference bud.

Thanks folks, just curious. Have quite made my mind up on a kit or buy each piece and build a custom type tank.

Nope.  I have a hygrometer over top my 90 gallon, with no lid, and there is no difference.

I agree with the others, no issue with a 29 gallon.

I had a 220 g with a sump running in my house and yes, there was some elevated humidity. But after I made a lid for the tank, the problem went away.

I have a 29g in our dinning room and while i do loose water to evaporation, my house is still dryer then I'd like. The only issues I ran into in the old apartment was spillage on the floor that destroyed the parkay flooring.

Meh, didn't like the rental place or management anyways!

Thanks for the info, sounds good.
