Hello fellow reefers!

My wife and I just bought a new place and we are in the early stages of building. I plan on building my dream tank but it has to go in the finished basement as there will be no other places in the house. I already had the builder install tile and a floor drain where the tank is going to go for ease of maintenance. Aqua board will also be installed on the back wall to prevent moisture and mildew. My big concern is with humidity and moisture. The basement is open concept with no rooms but there is an HRV in the utility room. My build will be a 150gallon (5x2x2) with canopy on a metal stand and skinned. I live in Edmonton Alberta so I realize that humidity is generally very low but I'm still concerned if there are any extra steps I can take to prevent mold in the future?
Does anyone have a basement set up in Edmonton I can check out or get feed back from?
How high does the humidity get with a 150g reef?
I'm trying to avoid buying a dehumidifier but willing to install a humidistat controller on the HRV to control humidity.

Please let me know if anyone can help.
