 How can i lower my humidity?

In my tank, the gauge is usually reading from 20-50% ...im looking at it now and its at 50%. Any ideas on what I could do to lower this? I’d like it at least 10-20% lower....its a little too high for me right now....thanks all!

do you have a digital hydrometer (or whatever its called) or one of those little dial ones.. the dial ones can be WAY off.. everything may be fine and you may just have a bad meter. Check walmart for cheap digital ones (they even have a built in thermometer).
other than that.. go with a small water dish. the more surface area exposed with the dish the more humidity builds up.
