I'm planning an in wall tank in my basement. The display side will be in the finished portion of the basement, with the backside being in a large unfinished room (20'x20', probably bigger) that will store all equipment, etc. I am looking for advice on how the backside should be finished. I assumed I should use greenboard to seal it up and make it water resistant, but I have seen some threads that suggest this is no better than regular drywall. The back room does not have to look nice, I just want to make sure the house is protected from the moisture and salt corrosion. I plan on buying a large dehumidifier (70 pint per day) to control humidity in that room. I'm not concerned about spending more if its the proper way to get this done.
Specific questions:
1) What material should I use to cover the walls and should I replace the current insulation with something different?
2) Does the display side (regular drywall) need to be redone?
3) The back room is where my furnace, etc. is housed. Is there anything that needs to be done other than the humidifier?
Any advice is appreciated or links to threads with good details.
