DKoKoMan's 150g Reef Tank

That's cool. I had hermit craps and cardinals breeding for me, but never clownfish. Your tank is doing well.

Thanks guys! It's definitely neat to watch the process and know that the tank is starting to get established. Hoping to see some more growth on the frags. Going to be buying the AF Reef Salt as I am down to half a bucket of IO Reef Crystals.

The plan is to do 3 x 5g pails of RC and 3 x 5g AQ for my biweekly water changes. Hopefully this will allow for a decent transition to the AF salt.

I want to make the change to get closer to the NSW parameters and have the control via 3 part.

So I have run in to some issues with humidity in or basement. I have found that the floor has been sweaty now that the weather has warmed up (25-26 Celsius). The walls and windows show no humidity whatsoever.

My wife says it feels damp and humid in the basement. I notice it more now that I have the larger tank as compared to my 75g. I currently have the top of my aquarium covered with a plastic grate to still allow for air exchange.

Has anyone had similar issues? I am thinking of getting some plexi glass pieces made for the top to reduce evaporation. Will this work or is it not worth it? Also is this going to effect the gas exchange?

I picked up a 70pint dehumidifier yesterday from Canadian Tire. Within hours the basement felt much drier and no more moisture on the floor. My fear is that this will suck water from the tank?

Any help would be appreciated.
