hi...

my 14 gallons res is making my humidity peak to 70%.. between 40-60 is good.. but is 70% too high.. if so, how do i lower it...

( i was testing the humidity without the lights and carbon filter extraction turn off.)

do you have a lid on your res?

a lid with 10 8cm holes... no lid ontop of this..

well theres your problem. Id put a piece of plexiglass over the lid or maybe just some plastic wrap. cover those holes first.


Also...how hot is it in your room?

its hot outside, 75degF.. so i should cover the other holes that i am not using??

The heat from your light will also lower the humidity and the ventilation too....no worries man, giver.
