you will still have moister issues....the cold air return will only draw air out if the furnace is running (or if you keep the furnace fan running 24/7).....your not too far along yet that you cant install a bathroom ceiling fan in there somewhere and have it either vent outside or into the room in front of the tank.....you can buy pre-finished panels similar to that at ikea, but like noted you will need a framework behind it to mount them on

right now my furnace fan is running 24/7 because of HRV, if that is not enough, maybe i will put a fan in the front panel to vent the air into the room like you suggest. Doug, stop suggesting me to DIY, I can't even patch a wall hole so that is how useless i am :-),but you brought a good point, i need to build a good framework, now, anyone know who can help me build that hahaha?

Thanks Mike, you should move to Calgary :-)


It is kind of suck to build things when you have no plan. Now the tank on the stand, it is hard to make any modification and redo everything is not an option because of time and budget. Anyway, been talked to couple cabinets and try to figure out how to design the cabinet that can fit nicely with current setup is challenge.

Quick question, the depth of my tank is 30 inch and same as the stand , is it safe to have the tank stick out 2 inches passing the edge of the stand? Will it crack once i fill water?

Thanks
