Hop's 300 gallon in-wall build

[Steve175]

Hop: Awesome tank, awesome build, and I lust after your wet room [I know . . . I need to get out more]. One quick question, earlier in your thread, you had planned to use a humidity sensor w/ an AC III to control your vent fans:

"It is super quiet and will be tied(eventually) to a AC III with a temp and humidity sensor"

Did you ever do this, was it needed or is temp alone adequate? If you did it, what sensor did you use, how is it hardwired, and what programming?

Thanks in advance both for this and the 100 other things I have learned from your thread!

I just can't believe that it has been nearly a year since I updated this thread. Life has just got away from me. At any rate; I had the wife's camera out earlier today and realized it would shoot video, so I just shot a couple seconds of the tank. After playing around I thought I would post a quick proof of life and show the tank still exists. I'm hoping to blow the dust off the camera and start showing some pics again in the near future. The tank needs a little TLC and I'm getting ready to give it some desperately needed maintenance.

I didn't clean the glass, nor have a tripod, so the video is less than crisp and a tad bit shaky...

Thanks for all the kind words and welcome! I put together a small three minute video to show things in more detail if anyone wants to take a look...

Thanks again!

Hey look everyone! It's Hop! :lol:

Thanks SM!!!

Apparently I've spent too much time away from a camera. Talk about trying to relearn how to ride a bike. Oh well; here are a couple pics from yesterday.
