Did I mess up?
Tank: 48x36x26 high - for an idea of water under the hood
Lights: two EchoTech Pros & four 48" T5s
Canopy: sealed w/epoxy paint, ceiling covered and siliconed with fiberglass plastic sheet.
I need some input on my canopy and ventilation. I wasn't thinking completely about ventilation before I finished the canopy so I'm hoping I'll be ok? There is electrical in the walls, so cutting into the wall won't be that simple. The canopy will be enclosed from the front and sides and I have an area in the back to get access to the tank as well as two 3" holes at the top. One of the holes will be used to feed cords for the lights. I also have a Tunze Aquawind twin fan that I use to have on my 75g tank, I could throw on to blow over the water.
Is the following enough?
At first I was going to do all LEDs, but decided to do a hybrid setup w/T5s (so more heat).
I currently have a dehumidifier, but am looking at a vent fan and/or portable AC unit for the fish room behind the tank.
Thanks.
