I need to dehumidify a small room with many tanks. What are you using?

In my experience... buy a lot bigger than you need. If you can get one with a drain and a way of getting the water out is ideal. Otherwise you'll be emptying it every day.
May even want to look into an AC with a dehumidifier function.
No recommendations on brand or anything though. I just buy whatever is available / on sale.

I tried one but it raised the temperature of the room badly. Did it work? Certainly...the humidity dropped from 80% to close to 50%....but the room (garage in my case) went from 82 to 92! My portable AC unit dehumidifies and keeps the room cooler and is not that much more expensive. I have a dual hose AC unit which sucks outside air in from outside and the hot exhaust is pushed out the other hose. It also expels the humid vapors out the exhaust hose as well so you do not have a bucket to drain much. Technically it does have a drain bucket but I drained it only once in the past 2 months. For me this was the only solution that allowed me to keep my tanks in the garage this summer.

Figured it would add heat, but 10 degrees, damn.
Might give a small one a shot and see how much it raises the temp.
Thanks for the input.
