Exhaust Fan recommendation

[75pxatr]

Any input would be appreciated. My 210 gallon upgrade with an additional 150 gallons in sump is leaving the basement quite humid. The dehumidifier can not keep up.

I have seen people use bathroom fans in several build threads but the sentiment was not big enough.

Who has a solution that they are satisfied with? Please share.

My entire system is in the basement and we installed a dehumidifier for the finished living area which is about 600 sq ft. The dehumidifier is rated to handle 1900 sq ft. I then put in a Fantech HRV unit in the fish room since the main system is not drawing air from there. It does a good job of getting stale air out and bring fresh air in to help keep my ph levels up. It also acts as a dehumidifier. If you arent having a ph issue I would look into getting a portable AC unit that acts as a dehumidifier as well. I know it seems like a lot of work to do for a problem that will really only exsist for a couple of months out of the year.

Looked into Fantech and that may be the way to go. When the air conditioning runs it is not as big an issue but those couple of months a year it is probably still worth the investment.
