sploosh!

I have a 150 in mine. 210 total water. Had to relevel that end of the house couple times at the beginning, but it's good now. Yes, Humidity can be an issue in a trailer. They seem to not breathe as well as a house, and the small space. I keep a fan on a humidistat down the hallway. The LED lights really helped tho.

Good point on humidity Dan. I forgot that one. They are well sealed, so like most other similar places need good ventilation, esp. for larger tanks. Mine has whole house vent system but the best would be the same as a house, if ones having a unit built. An HRV.

I ran my dehumidifier sometimes in the winter when I had a larger tank. Not a big fan of dehumidifier,s though. Guess they help somewhat

My sister in law owned a mobile home when she was attending college. It was an older model that was made in the early 80's and she complained that the furnace was always on in the winter and the AC was always on in the summer.


Just stay away from any that look like this...
