I'm floating my invader kit in my 55 gallon tank.
I would actually love to see someone do this with a homemade kit.

At first, I thought the concern over aquariums in the room came from the lighting used and its affect on the prints. Never considered humidity.

Either way, I've had a couple of 45s and a 55g in the living room with framed prints on the wall for a few years now and haven't seen any damage on them yet.

Pour gelatin in the tank. No humidity problems and save on fish food.

I've got my Ansin Dracula framed above my 55 gal turtle tank and aside from a couple droplets of water hitting the glass on occasion from a splashy turtle, the print looks absolutely fine. Been hanging there for over a year now.
