Dehumidifier For Stand?
As many of you guys know, the bowels of our beautiful tanks are usually pretty humid inside and IME this can lead to water damage (especially with the crappy fiberboard stands). I was wondering if there is a small dehumidifier on the market that could fit in the stand of your average tank (48"x24" 120g in my case) that could effectively remove humidity? Thanks

Probably. A much less expensive option is to install a computer fan or two so that they blow air into the stand. Make sure you have a corresponding vent hole for the moisture laden air to get out. Using the same fans to suck the air out will also work, but the fan(s) won't last too long due to the corrosion.
