personally I would take the stranded out and use solid, less problems. Stranded wire had the capability to be more affected by oxidation than solid, so for long term installs solid is better. Over the years I have replaced tones of stranded wires due to voltage drop from corrosion, I have never replaced a solid wire for any reason other than mechanical damage. and since you are building it in a fish room which is going to be high moisture...
