Spray foam insulated houses and aquariums, any experience?

Hey all,

Just moved into a house with spray foam insulation and have been reading about issues in these houses due to excessive humidity. I getting ready to fill my 90 gallon but don't want to cause mold issues in my house. Has anyone else's with a sprayfoam insulated house run into humidity issues with having a tank running?

With what you save on your heat and AC you can run a dehumidifier!!

What kind of heating/cooling does your home have? Forced air? Could an air exchanger in the path. Will replace the indoor air with outdoor air. Would benefit your health as well as mostly solve the humidity issue
