![]() Two of the people I know that live in condos, have a humidity sensor in the living room that will turn a fan on when the humidity raises above the setting you have adjusted it to.

![]() what are the dimensions of the tank?
and yes I agree with sphelps about keeping the tank off the radar of the condo board. Most condos will allow a tank up to 75gal and make sure you get insurance, otherwise any damage to the building will hurt your pocket |

![]() +1 on insurance - the first thing I did before pulling the trigger on my 100 was call the insurance agent and find out what the policy was.
As for humidity, you probably won't have a problem. Most condos have a decent amount of circulation of air from the outside of the unit to the inside (unless you've sealed the unit real good), so you won't get much of a build up. In our unit (~600 sqft), the humidity is just fine with the tanks all going.

![]() Thanks for the good advice guys.
It's a 72" x 24" x 29"tall on a 40" white stand, with the hood going all the way up to the ceiling. For lighting I'm running eight T5HO's so that should help cut down on the heat factor slightly as opposed to MH. I was thinking of running a dehumidifier during the day when I'm at work or something... Just not sure if I'm being realistic in thinking I can pull it off with the move and the Strata guys. |

![]() IMO I wouldn't do it. I am in a 685 sq ft place right now with about 120 gallons of total water in my various tanks and the humitity is so high I need fans blowing on the windows to keep them from puddling.
If you were to do it I would strongly consider venting outside if possible, led lighting and a dehumidifier. As far as space concerns downsizing might be a better option for you... I hate to be the guy that throws a wrench in, but I certainly don't want to mislead you. ![]() |

![]() i know its not ideal because you want to keep your tank but when you sell the house just put a little for sale sticker on it some idiot who thinks COOL I LOVE THE FISH TANK! might pay more for it than what it cost you to get it in the first place, that way maybe you can rebuild a newer tank for the condo that better suits where you want it dimensions wise... i hope that made sense...

![]() At this post, I had taken great discussion about reef condos. With I knew how to you build condos. I suppose you waste of your time here. There is other better choice; you will be able to get all types of condos for your needs. For sure, I stay in Ottawa, Canada. So, I obtained best condos in Ottawa at cheap cost. However, you can get cheap reef condos from your native place.
