By "in there" you mean the tank this time right?

Things are progressing nicely. Keep those pics rollin!

Is that a bathroom fan in the wall there? Will it's location allow you to effectively pull enough moisture out of the room? Maybe some stylish fans on the eurobrace aimed across the top towards the fan will help some?

HAHA, your a funny guy! Im hoping this is my last incident with water.

I don't know quite yet how Im going to finish this off, I had planned on a canopy over the tank. So the fan would quite easily remove enough moisture out(it is wired to a dehumidistat above the tank). This would also cut any of the glare off the lighting over the tank as well. Haven't quite figured this out.

If anybody has some ideas on how to finish this off, Im all ears.

Oh if you have a canopy and the end is somewhat open to that fan intake you're fine. I thought you had pendant/open top plans.

Thanks Ryan, it's coming along, slowly, but it's getting there. Im hoping by Christmas to be operational, I would say sooner but I'm being realistic.
I'm going to talk to Dave or Brad about a sump, as thats the next thing on my list.

I was hoping for the end of summer, but..... ran into a little basement troubles. Like I said, Im trying to be realistic.
Im going to start the rock(base) work right away, hope to have it done in the next little bit. Then I can seed it with the 150 lbs I have left in the back room. Its amazing to see how many sponges have started to grow when there is nothing around to eat them.
At any rate, hope I can speed things up a bit, as I find myself becoming impatient as well. As nice as it was not to look after anything besides my kids all summer, I sure miss not having a functional tank.

Ya, the intake would actually be in the canopy, obviously you cannot see that from the pictures taken, but it does stick out about 2" above the tank edge.
