Yes, Venting is a must, when it comes to large tanks. Just as important as lighting, skimmers, reactors, etc..should have been included in your plan form the start. In with fresh air and out with stinky, humid, hot, Co2 enriched air.
I know I have to up grade my venting system aswell now that I have all my cabinetry almost finished
