Thanks Jamie,
I wouldnt have done it unless i had the help from a good bud, it made me feel better to know someone else was in as deep as i was in work.....lol
Plus, it helped that i could always say to the wife " well jamies wife is letting him put that in/have that/get those..."
(even if you werent..lol)
Im sure it wont be too much longer Jacmyoung,
The wife says its ugly like it sits...that means im allowed to spend money.
No i didnt bother with the scuba gear...just my boxers and sandals...lol, you dont want to see a pic of that.
It was weird getting in there and working on it.
Sara, Im using a Toro dual Squirrel fan, im sure its no less than 500 cfm on a Dehumidistat.
Here it was before the plywood casing was put on,
Hot/Humid air is pulled off the top couple inches of the ceiling, and is pumped outside via 1- 6" Duct.
There is an additional 4" Fantech inline fan, that pulls air directly out of the canopy at 115cfm, and is also fed through the plwood casing and pumped outside, this one i let run 24/7.
So im guessing im exchanging a minimum of 600+ cfm, out of a 12' x 9 room.
That black box you see, is a little dryer vent Tee, that has a switch so you can change its output openings.
That way in the winter, i can just pump heat from the canopy back into the room if need be.
The Fresh air intake to the room, is 2-5" intake vents at the base of the room, on either side....so i have a choice of pulling from outside or in the winter im hoping to just plug these and pull warm air from the house.

Don't know Marc, should have your wife taken pictures while you were in there, could be a turn-on you never know
Just kidding.

That is an amazing rockword design! You have given me some great ideas. Are all of those rocks held together from the black zipties or did you use some kind of epoxy? Also did you drill the rocks for the zipties?
Great tank and good luck!

Very Nice!! Very Nice!!!!
I am interested in how many hours did it take to do your aquascaping? I am just starting to design the rock layout for the 220 I amsetting up. I love the openness of your design.
Also , how many pounds of rock did you use?
I have a glass tank, can I just place my rock on the glass bottom or do I need to place something under the rock to keep it off the glass. I am assuming that if I place the rock directly on the sand it will eventually work its way thru the sand and be touching the glass. Is this ok?
Any way,,, super tank wish I had the room .....
