You either need to keep it wet by misting or cut down on he ventilation. How much of the tank top is covered with screen ? How often do you mist? With a waterfall running, I would think the humidity would be fine unless there is to much ventilation. My tanks only have about 2" strip of screening and are fine. I had a fan and it dried the tank out to much. You may want to try cutting the speed of your fan down. If it is a 12 volt fan, you can get a variable voltage transformer at Radio Shack for about $10, this adjusts the voltage from 3-12 volts in 1.5 volt steps. Also, where is the sensor for you humidity gauge located ? If it's at the bottom of the tank, in a larger tank the humidity at the top may be 10 to 20 % lower.
