I get a lot of moisture in my canopy. I was wondering if putting a dab of silicone on all the solder joints is a good preventative measure. Also what's a good way to rid the canopy of moisture? Id rather not have to use fans 24/7. The moisture is mostly a problem at night when the fans go off. I have three 2" holes in the top of the canopy and the back is open.

Just add some fans on a timer and you should use the proper "conformal coating" on any exposed solder joints.
Silicone caulk can outgas and cause other problems.
