Check your more humid tanks for them running around on the substrate. Alternatively, search online for "predatory mites" -- there are some gardening suppliers that sell a few species (hypoaspis or hypoapsis, I can't remember how it's spelled).

^^ mike has answered the qustion.
if you leave food items in the tank mites will just "happen"...tsk, they do in my tank! even when I used to spot clean like MAD! so now I just leave them to it since the "babies" drag food into burrows etc
