Thanks guys. Because it's just a small room I need to take care of plus my house was built in the 60's, an HRV probably isn't the way I'll go either. Im leaning towards the bathroom fan since others seem to think that should be enough. What about those installed cylindrical metal fans you see from time to time? I'd rather stay away from anything built of all metal but does anyone know what im talking about or have any experience with those?

I just built my home and so I built an HRV into the fishroom. It wasn't working right at first and so I used a fan and it didn't quite cut it but it helped a lot. Keep in mind that mine was jury-rigged as I only used it a week.

My bathroom fan in my fishroom was just a $40 unit but over time it started rusting and slowing down. This meant it was running more and more often to maintain my target humidity. When I ripped the room apart I found rusty drip spots on the shelf underneath it. This fan did not stand up well and only operated for 6 months.
