Have to say I'm super impressed with the amount of work you've done and the patience you've displayed.

Very nice. One of these days, I swear, I'll have a fish room of my own.

How does this differ from a standard bathroom vent fan? I am in the pre-pre-pre-planning stages of a future house (also in MD) and have been stuck with the different ways people have been suggesting on properly venting fish rooms.

^ Aren't you also worried about bringing in humid air into the fish room during the summer time?

crimsonblue - I have the ERV connected to a dehumidistat so it does not function like a normal install. Fish rooms are notoriously humid and the main thing I am trying to do is exchange fresh air from outside to inside the house. During the summer in our area it's gonna be a bit tricky since we are in a zone where the humidity is an issue in the summer months. From the Fall though the Spring I should see some benefits. I think with the bathroom fan they are mainly for exhaust so me its a little different than a standard bathroom fan. If things get out of hand I have the ability to unplug the fan and I also have a dehumidifier I brought when I decided to build a fish room. Let me know if you need more info.

Coming along great. I'm definitely following? Why build the stand in 2 pieces? Door / height restrictions?

Wow, amazing work. I'm in MD too, remodeling a basement & planning on a shared fish/laundry room.
With a tank that big, what is your fish stock list? Following the thread. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

schudini - Let me know what part of MD you are in. Have you started decisions on your stand? I had a local place make mine and pretty happy with the results. When planning make sure you plan for your stand height including leveling feet in regards to doorways...lol. I have not really thought about fish list much but I know it will be filled with wrasses . I think once I get some water I will get motivated to make the list...lol. Quote:

It's been a while since I have provided an update but things are slowly coming along. Work has been keeping me pretty busy and the "Honey Do" list has been growing during the summer months.
07/20/2017 - Polishing Wheel Arrived
07/26/2017 - More Plumbing Supplies Arrived 07/29/2017 - Picked up Sumps and Auto Top Offs
07/31/2017 - Under Main Tank I choose 3/4" PVC for the base for the bottom of my stand. No issues with rot ever . The problem was after I did all the measurements to make the board fit under the stand I could not fit the whole board in at one time. I had to cut it down the middle in order to make it fit. Welding joints on the stand also played a small part in throwing off my measurements. While it may not be my prettiest work I think it will do for now. I have not decided if I will make a retaining wall or not but once I get all the items dry-fitted and in place with the sump and ATO I will figure something out. I used some PVC transition glue to create some supports to prevent the two parts from not lining up properly and sag between the joint. I let it dry overnight and the next day set up a jig so I cold make one long seam and then drop the other side in place. I routed the edges flush with the stand where I could and it did not turn out too bad.
