I was thinking of some kind of a blower unit to take the humidity outside. On a brighter note, the wife doesn't think humidity is good for the computer - gee, I think I agree with that.

Otherwise drill all the tanks and connect to one sump, make sure it's big enough to hold all the drain water during power outage.
This way you only need one piece of each (skimmer, ..).
That will depend if I want everything on one system...not sure of that yet.

Try to run reverse daylight in the basement tanks to help with the heating and cooling.
You mean lights on at night, not during the day?

You might need to add extra circuit for your AC loads.
Lots of room in the breaker box, just not sure if I want to do a whole lot of wiring. Might not have a choice.

Get a screamer to let you know something flooded the room.
Good idea.

And lastly the carpet is out.
Why yes, yes it is. The sump that is in the room is a sump pump, so I am thinking it would be nice if I could figure a way to make all the water from an exploding tank go immediately to that corner, instead of taking a little time to do so. I'm also thinking of turning the door around so it opens into the hallway, instead of into the room.

How would I heat this room separately from the rest of the house, which is heated by natural gas? And how do you keep sump pump outgoing pipe from freezing in the winter?
