I am very familiar with this situation as I grew up in a house with unvented gas heat. The heaters put moisture into the air so windows always sweated as well. The solution I used was, as just mentioned, mix hot and cold water coming into the tank to give a room temp. water in the tank.
I actually bought a mixing valve to do just that. I do not know if they are still available, however , as this was in the 1960's. A plumber could arrange such with ordinary cut-off valves.

it condenses on the outside of the tank, leaving a puddle around the toilet.
It's odd; I live in Hawaii--hot and humid--and don't get condensation on the tank. The water inside my tank must be warmer.
maybe you could connect the tank to the hot water line. Should solve that problem and cause another!

As a result, he gets condensation from the toilet tank; mainly from the back. I was wondering if anyone has had this situation and successfully (or moderately successfully) solved this problem. I might be getting more of this type of situation because it looks like it will be a hot and humid summer.
