Uncovered Aquariums Dangerous?

What? Moisture doesn't usually hurt humans unless it is extreme. Aquariums do not put out much moisture. That "person" must be just a little bit sensitive is all...

yeah, it humidity killed, there would be no one living in Jersey. As far as measuring it, I don't know if there is a device.... I depend on the weatherman for it.

Yep. A hygrometer will do it. Here is a link to a digital one at Radio Shack http://www.radioshack.com/sm-indoor-outdoor-thermometer-with-hygrometer--pi-2049773.html...I'm sure Walmart has something too.
There are also old school ones with a dial.

No but mold does... And both mold and humidity can cause problems for people suffering from asthma (and mold will cause problems for almost everybody).

It's not so much as how much moisture is being put out, but where that moisture is going after it is put out. You could cover every wall of your house with tanks and barely increase the humidity (provided you manage the humidity well)... or on the other hand you could technically destroy your house with a 29g tank (if absolutely nothing is combating the humidity - moisture is just accumulating).

Yes, you can get something to measure the humidity... Google "humidity meter". I do not know at what level it starts to become dangerous.

As far as wether or not having multiple aquariums is dangerous, if that's a yes or no question the answer is both... there's too many factors to take into account to say for sure.

They are safe. and If it aint broke don't fix it.
