Default Excess moisture in fish room

Just wondering what people with fish rooms do for all the excess moisture. As of right now all I did is installing a 30" vent above my door for the room but it seems to do absolutely nth. I have to leave my room door open buts it's quite noisy and light coming out of the room which I don't want. My fish room use to be a laundry room along time ago so the dryers air vent passage way is still there. I could install one of those washroom fans to it but that would be so noisy and it would be running 24/7 and I don't wanna waste more electricity than I already have. Was thinking about buying this small n neatly lookin dehumidifier

What u guys think is it too small? Or u guys have a better solution for eliminating excess moisture?

Just get a lower decibel bathroom fan. They don't draw a lot of power and you could even put it on a timer.

With all the extra light in the room can is it possible for some kind of way to rig it up to a small solar panel that can be placed under my LEDs?

Can't you just cut a hole in the roof? That's what most people do

When I build mine put in a small bathroom fan over the sump. Was also going to put in a dehumidistat so would only run when required but never got to it (moisture not a problem).
