Temperature and Humidity in a Custom Stand

Tim P · Mar 29, 2018

Hey All,

I had a stand built custom. Painted with Kilz and Enamel paint, sealed up really nicely around doors, seams, etc. Got to thinking about heat and moisture build-up, so I added a beast of a bathroom vent fan that is controlled by a humidistat. Really happy with how it works.

I know it probably depends on a lot of factors, but what would be an ideal temperature and humidity range inside the stand itself? I don't want this fan going off every minute in the summer, but we don't blast the AC during summer months, so I'm sure it will be venting. Don't really see any numbers on the Google. Figured people on here with similar setups/fish rooms could give me a range of numbers to stick by.

Thanks all.

I don't really have a set up like yours. On the back of my stand I have a opening approximately 6in down from Top and the length of the stand which is 6 Speed and then I've got a 1' x 1' Square opening at the bottom of the stand at the end no one will see basically for it to breathe so to speak. If the inside of my stand gets too warm I can put a fan down by the one foot by one foot box opening to put a fan in there in case it gets too hot.

Not sure about humidity but for temperature if your display tank gets too high then have air circulating to cool it down although you will have more evaporation.
