If you are refering to my pvc pipe thougt there would be no need to run your furnace period. you said this would be an air tight system right? the fans from your lights might even be enough to move the air out!!!!!!!

Well I don't have any fans on my lights. I prefer to deal with the heat in my sump in the basement, seems easier to me. So all I would have in there is just lights, no ballast or anything. That is another reason I would like a little air movement in there, that and I am strong believer in keeping fresh air circulating over the surface of the water at all times.

I was picturing some sort of pipe, either a pce of PVC with a little 12 volt computer fan built in line or a inline duct fan but I think that would over kill. One computer fan should do it. I don't think it will take much but that is the reason for this post, I really don't know for sure.
