Evaporation

[sgt pyle]

Hi all,

I currently have 2 empty tanks (10g and 29g) and was considering putting up the 10g as my space is limited. But due to the size of my space I am worried about the extra moisture in the air (is this dumb?) and don't want to kill my electronics which will share the room.

Will this be an issue?
If so, is it curable?

Thanks,

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as there aren't lots of rapid temperature swings, you aren't going to have any risk of condensation.

If you're concerned about it, just make sure the room has some kind of ventilation (leave a door open?)

I have my 20G in the same room as my laptop, stereo, speakers, and phone, and I have had zero problems and do not expect any. The amount that would be lost to the air would not amount to much- especially if you kept a window open a crack for an hour or something each day. And as JWright said, unless you have wild temperature swings you won't have any condensation, and that is the key thing to watch out for as that is what is really dangerous.

I have my 10g on top of my tv above my stereo, Xbox, and next to my computer. everything is fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

im gonna add in, i have a 150g, 20g, and 10g in the same room as my computer,tv, stereo, whatnot, and the door is kep closed most of the time, and theres no condensation here, and no more humidity than there is outside (albeit its the south and naturally humid)

Agreed...I have multiple tanks up and running, in the same room as ALL my electronics. Never had a problem. At one point I had a 55, 2x 29's and a 5 running. Not a speck of condensation.
