I don't mind the extra humidity, my daughter has airway issues and needs extra moisture in the air (I've built a Biocube in her room just for that )

Do you use fans on sump and tank, or just one place? I suppose I could vent the stand outside along the floor if I had to, but not sure it's an issue. My house is pretty old, so it will likely fall down long before the moisture gets it -lol

Also, what fans do you use?
Hey Brad,

My Canopy is quite airtight except for one fan drawing air from the office into the canopy. Then I have a 4" dryer vent pipe going from the other side of the canopy all the way into the basement, at the basement end there is an inline fan on that dryer vent sucking air into the basement. I have a bathroom fan hooked to a dehumidistat to vent the humid air directly outside. Then fans only on the sump in that same room in the basement. With my last house, the humidity rotted the house away, this is why I made my canopy air tight. Hope this helps.
