Thanks everyone for your compliments. The tank would not be the way it is today if I didn't find this board. I did not post too many questions in the past few years but I read and learned alot from all the wonderful resources on this site.
As with other reefers here on the board, we have had our share of cycling pain, hair algae, and other chemical spikes but we made it through. Now the biggest chalenge for us is to safely move the system over to the new house on the 4th of May.
Rickeejb,
We bought the biggest dehumidifier we can find at Home Depot and run it 24/7 in the basement. So far we have not seen any sign mildew. The air always stay fresh. We also open the walkout basement whenever the weather is good outside to get fresh air in the house.
Happy reefing,
John
