Aquaponics As a Food Source

[GilpinGuy]

So things are going good. As predicted, I have to address the humidity problem. The windows and sliding glass door of the "shed" are continuously covered with dew and the wood frames of those windows and doors are moist to wet. This will lead to problems so I need focus on that now.

The shed is insulated pretty well. The options I've thought of so far are:

Vent: put a bathroom type fan in a window on a timer and just vent the room for 5 minutes every hour or whatever it takes.

Advantages: it's fairly easy and would use little electricity. Just get the fan, mount it on plywood to cover the opening, insulate with foam board and that's it.

Disadvantages: the loss of heat and material cost (wood, foam board, etc.) plus effort.

Dehumidifier: just dehumidify the room. Maybe pour the water from the dehumidifier back into the fish tank (doesn't dehumidifier water get pretty skanked up though with bacteria and shit?).

Advantages: it's plug and play. No cutting wood, buying material, etc.

Disadvantages: cost (kinda high) and.more electrical use.

I'd love to hear any other ideas.
