Probably. I have 2 heated pools in my 55 gallon crabitat that make up less than a quarter of the surface and my humidity is pretty steady at 95%. I have air pumps blowing air in there constantly just to dry it out a little.

Awesome, I have several empty tanks, and I know I want some fish, and I also want to do a couple of projects that interest me, in particular a paludarium with a drip wall and live plants, which wouldn't really work with brackish water.
