Dehumidifier in a Fish Room

Anyone know where in edmonton I can get a 6" exhaust fan? A bathroom exhaust fan obviously won't cut it

You could try Soper's Supply, they deal with all sorts of exhaust fans for both residential and commercial.

Thanks. I bought a 220 Cfm fan from Home Depot. Doesn't seem like much.

Should this be enought? I had a 70cfm bathroom fan on there before

Depends on the room size, I don't know what the regulation for fish rooms is but indoor "gardens" require the air be adequately exchanged every three minutes. So for a room 10x10x10= 1000cf you need 333cfm.

Becareful with a hi powered exhaust fan in you furnace room. You don't want to put that room into negative pressure, you run the risk of pulling air back down the chimney.

its a high efficiency furnace. theres a sensor in the room actually that'll turn on the furnace on if it causes too much negative pressure

funny how this thread just popped up! with my new open top 160g system running in my condo i decided it was getting kinda humid so i purchased a small dehumidifier from work.. and yea the thing really raises the temp in the room and it fills up with water pretty fast!

pretty sure i'm going to return it and just forget about it.. leave the patio door open and turn on the ceiling fan overnight
