    since i have switched from MH to LED my evaporation has gone from 8 gal a day to under 2 gal  so i dont think it will be too big of an issue  but i do plan on installing 2 of the fans and humidistates like yours and running 1 or 2 dehumidifiers like i have now

    The pictures do not do it justice. You gotta see this monster build in person. I was very impressed Matt. AS most know I am in the progress on my fish room, I hope to learn alot from Matt's.

    MATT! You should do a "How to build a plywood tank" meeting because now I GOTTA have a 300G one. Has to be cheaper than buying a Glass one.

    Nick my advise is to win the lottery and pay someone else to do it for you. LOL

    I spent less then $1000 building both plywood tanks including the glass which cost $350 for both, but its a lot of work its not an easy build.

    are those pumps able to be wired 220 ? I am sure if you wired them that way you would save money on electric bill with the amp draw being lower. Or did you call the power company and have a transfer station put in the back yard? lol
