I posted this on the equipment forum but am not getting any input. Maybe this would apply to the larger tank folks. Any input would be helpful.
I am finally going to build a fish room in my basement. I started it over a year ago but gave it up to let a friend of mine start his fish wholesale business in my basement until his new building was finished. We had over 2000 gal of fish and corals and a lot of humidity. A dehumidifier from lows didn't even begin to help.
He is now out and I am going ahead with my now revised plans. I am going to put a comercial dehumidifier down there this time and would like some input on brands anyone else may be using.
I will have roughly 80 sg feet of water surface area in a 450 sq foot room in my drive in basement. Here is what I found on the net by Therma Stor. They back their product with a 90 day guarantee as well.

Has anyone used this brand or have any other recomendations. I plan on getting started pretty quick and may post a thread to show the project if there is any interest. It will not be a show tank design but rather a somewhat cost effective approach to large volume, plenty of diversity and somewhere to go to feel as if you are in your own little ocean.
It will probably consist of a 6x6 round 300 gal look down lagoon, two 8x2x1 120 gal coral vats, rodi storage, salt vats and maybe a large glass display upstairs after everything else up and going.
First at hand however is the humidifier... Any thoughts
