A lot of the condensation you may experience on the windows is caused by not only the indoor humidity from the tanks; but it also has to do with your humidifier on your furnace. A lot of people don't realize that when the temperature dips outside you are supposed to be adjusting your humidifier downwards as well. Interior humidity will always form as condensation on the coldest surface of your house when it's cold outside; which will always be the windows. It also doesn't help that most builders don't educate their clients about better glass options (Lowe and triple pane). Changing your windows to triple pane and energy efficient Lowe (preferably solar control) will make a huge difference.

Ill double check but I'm pretty sure I don't have a humidifier on my furnace unless it's built in and not on the side like a normal one would be

My HRV runs 24/7. I just have it on the low setting and humidity is not a problem.

i have a 75g in our 860 sq/ft house. its not a big tank, but combined with a small house, makes for a big humidity change. i plastic my windows off in winter which helps keep the ice off of them, and as for the humidity, weve gotten used to it. its to the point now when i stay at someone elses house for any length of time my skin dries out. bonus is youll never have to buy a humidifier!

With a designated tank room I now exhaust humid air outside while drawing cold fresh air inside. Prior to this we used to run a dehumidifier but it was adding around $20 a month to our electricity bill.
