    I would like to check is there anyway to prevent fogging on the tank surface when using chiller? Recently I discovered my tank easily fogged at a temperature of 25 degree.

    I have been setting the chiller to this temperature range without encounter fogging previously.

    It's the recent number of rain that's causing excess humidity in the air, therefore there's fogging. You just have to wait till this rainy weather clears up.

    Correct, you'll have to endure it for a while. Happening to me now too but very slight fogging.

    It's the temperature difference between tank and the surrounding air. If the air temperature is a very hot 34 degrees, your tank will fog even at 27 degrees.

    Humidity is difficult to control unless you have a dehumidifier which will be working hard if you have bright lights over the tank. Try getting more ventilation in the room instead so the air movement can remove built up heat. Opening a series of windows helped for me.

    all of you are right, it is caused by the recent weather. The fogging seem cleared up last night.
