HRV revisit
So i am looking to buy this unit
Lifebreath Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) RNC10 (123 - 177 CFM) but unsure if this will help with my current 165 gallon tank in my house. My humidity level is 50% right now Should i get a bigger unit? Anyone has this brand LifeBreath and do you like it?

It wouldn't hurt to bump it a little for good measure, bigger is always better

A bigger HRV will cost more and use more energy, kinda the opposite of there main purpose. If you want more air changes per hour open a window.

The higher the airflow the shorter running time as it would only kick in according to how you have it set up.
