When I went on my trip, all fish at my fishroom where totally fine. At my house, it is another story(lost a lot of fry). But while I was gone, the dehumidifier went out. Humidity got up over 90% and I had a pretty massive outbreak of mold. I have spent the last couple of days wiping everything down with bleach. I am shutting my house down minus about 6 tanks and I am moving my dehumidifier and putting it on a separate breaker with humidity level set at 5% higher so if one shuts off I have a back up.
I will probably get an air exchanger at some point, but I was attempting to hold off for a while. Anyway, moral of the story is that a lot of you and me have fishrooms inside living space and not in a detached garage. Be aware of humidity levels because if this happened in a living space, it could have been a major issue.
Since I got back, humidity has been at 50% and mold has gone away a lot on its own.
