I'm not too worried about moisture, the sump will be sealed and the lighting canopy will completely seal the open top of the tank and then the canopy will be vented outside. I will also likely opt...

Plumbing through fire wall

Anyone know where I might be able to find a fire barrier collar to cover 1-1/2" plastic pipe that penetrates through a fire wall? Building code states it's needed. Need something locally in Calgary.

You can buy RO water for as little as $1 for 5 gallons, for a 10 gallon nano on a budget that's the way to go. The Mr Clean approach will not give you good water for a reef tank, especially a nano.
