This may be an odd question, but I am thinking of putting my aquariums in office at home, where the computer/printer, ect lives Does anyone know if that would cause any problems for the computer, like putting too much humidity in the air, or anything like that? I hadn't given it too much thought, but the more I've thought about it, the more im getting worried.
Thanks all
Dave

If we're talking about a 75 gal you'll be OK. I'm just coming up on a year with a 75 in my office. I close the doors to the room all night. I leave the central air vent open for ventilation

I've had a 40 gallon for 6-7 years and 50 gallon for the last 6 years in the room where I have 2 computers.

I would go with a closed system like a Biocube or Red Sea Max – something with a lid.

That will keep evaporation and temperature swings to a minimum when you have the windows open. It will also keep salt spray from permeating everything in the room.

This will happen over time with an open top system.

Well rightly or wrongly I back out of the D-Suny deal at the last minute, this was due to the price the chap was asking
and the feedback, also the guarantee is in china, and one was already 18th old, so i purchased 2x AI Hydra 26 HD admittedly twice the price. (ouch) I hope i done the right thing...
