Dehumidifier in the fish room??? Does it help???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Check the PH of the water coming out of a UV unit... one would expect it to be neutral, but with both of my units that is the exact opposite of what I get...

There's no way I would reuse Dehumidifier water... the extremely small benefit doens't nearly outweight the risks...

Trust me the thought never crossed my mind. I'll plumb it straight to the drain.;)
It was a couple other people in the thread that spoke of putting it back in their tank's.
I'm always the rather safe than sorry type.:)
 
BTW, there are dehumifiers out there that you can set the humidity level. It will turn on and off automatically to achieve and maintain the desired humidity level. The one I got is from Whirlpool. I have yet to found one that runs quiet tho. They all seem to make a ton of noise.

As for re-using the water, I am definitely against it. The water always get some slimy stuff in it.

As far as I know, Santa Fe dehumifiers are the best on the market.

Thank's, that's great info.
I'm gonna have to look into that. That would be cool to set the humidity to what I want insted of running cycles.
Even if I went that route, it might still run 24/7.:grinno: I gotta get these ponds and tank's covered.:(
 
FYI, Consumer Reports lists the following dehumidifiers as 'best buys' for tank volume, humidity-level control, reduced noise, and energy efficiency:

Large-Capacity - Danby DDR606
Medium-Capacity - LG LHD45EL
Small-Capacity - Haier HD306
