Melev, Thanks for your nice words. The sump's inspiration was from your website!! I modified the design slightly to fit my needs. I've also placed an order for the bulbs to be hung over my refugium.
The tank sits into the niche that you see, so it's not actually an "in-wall" tank. The front of the tank is covered with a facade. However the area above the tank is completely open. I also have about a 4" space between the back wall and the tank itself, which will allow the sump to "breathe".
The room into which the heat will vent out is a big room. It basically stretches the entire width of our home, so I don't think I should have any heat or humidity issues I'd see in a confined space. What do you think?
