I had to take down my 300 DD due to high humidity and mold in my basement. about 5 years ago. My basement bathroom had mold growing on the walls. I ended up gutting the bathroom and found mold growing behind the walls. it wasn't all just because of the tank but it didn't help. 75% of my basement is finished and pretty tight. I didn't account for humidity reduction. Wife got sick from the mold so the tank had to go.

I am getting back into the hobby after a good long break. I see that a lot has changed and I am starting this post for suggestions as I build my 155. I am looking for suggestions for lighting, Turf scrubbers and general function. This build will include humidity reduction. sump and tank will have covers. I will use exhaust fans to vent.
Tank:
The new build will be a corner In-wall with the front and Left side showing. Last weekend I ordered the tank from Planet Aquariums. 48x30x24 with a center overflow and a black background. The tank build will take 8 to 10 weeks. I think the 30" width will be awesome to aquascape, especially from the side view. I want this tank to be highly automated.
Skimmer:
Ordered a Bubble King double cone 200 from BRS. It will be delivered 10/6
Sump:
I was looking at Synergy, GEO and Advanced aquatics. GEO was 20 weeks out on build. I was leaning towards getting the
GEO SU46R-PRO-PLUS
I was going to have it customized. I didn't want a fuge attached as i plan to run a turf scrubber. with shipping and having coves made it would have been north of $1700
Synergy looks like a good sump but ended up choosing Advanced aquatics.
It is will be white PVC with red trim. 42x21x15. Good price and free shipping 6 to 8 weeks build time.
REF#: S150 - PVC/Acrylic Hybrid Sump (10 Sizes) "“ Advanced Acrylics, Inc.
I expect this will be a slow build. I hope to have water in it by February. I plan to have SPS and LPS.
This will be an apex controlled tank-. I see there are other controllers out there so and experience is welcome.
Up in the air on lights. LED for sure
I am think MP40's for flow, but open to suggestions
GEO Clac reactor??
