i haven't checked the actual humidity level but i have an extra thermometer that does humidity in my garden. i have a dehumidifier that i'll be running down there though so i should be fine. and yes 3 stock tanks...2 100's and a 50 for frags

Hey I see you are using a hammerhead return pump, how do you like it ? I am looking at one and was not sure how they worked or heard any opinions on them. I am working on a similar setup with my sump and such in the basement. My main display will be between 225gal and 250gal and I need to find a return pump that can handle the 16' or so of head pressure.

Great set up BTW.
