What temp do you keep your tanks? What lights are you using?

Removing the water from the air is the only solution. Either fix the problem with the dehumidifier or pump the air out of the house via the attic. Is there an AC vent going into that room ? If not then that could solve the whole problem by just tapping off the main duct and installing a new vent.
