Do any of you pull air from a conditioned space in your house thru your fish room and to the outside? I was going to put an air intake from the outside and on the opposite side of the fish room an exhaust fan. But in the summer, its extremely muggy...and I live by a creek in the woods which doesn't help. I have water dripping off my roof until noon pretty much every day during the summer.
Question is why not pull conditioned air from the house? Its dry and the right temperature. I could simply put an intake from the crawl space (which is conditioned) to the garage (which is my fish room).
Negative pressure was brought up to me in the past, but its not like Im putting in an attic fan...just a simple exhaust fan...maybe 400 cfm. so a tad bigger than a bath fan. Bath fans are usually around 100 cfm.

I plan on have an exhaust fan mounted inside my canopy to pull out the humidity. My split system for the house will be able to control the rest of the basement.
