Salt/Evaporation problems due to marine aquarium

What you really need is a separate exhaut to the OUTSIDE-NOT THE ATTIC.
Excessive moisture in the attic will cause other even more serious
problems. Your attic should have a thermostatically controlled exhaust
fan. For the basement, you also need to provide comubustion air for the
furnace so it doesn't draw inside air to heat, AND VERY IMPORTANTLY DOES
NOT CAUSE EXHAUST BACKFLOW INTO THE HOUSE! THIS COULD BE FATAL!!!!
Simple cure is to close the doors to the basement an open a basement
window just a crack all year round.

Please be carefull!

Thank you. I should have been more clear. The fan is in the attic and
the air does exhaust to the outside. It is thermostatically controlled,
both for temperature and humidity. I have been closing the basement
door, but it didn't occur to me to open a basement window. As soon as I
sign my name I'm running down and doing that!
