I was initially planning to go with an in room rimless tank from AGE, but since I'm installing it in the basement and I've already been fighting water intrusion through the walls, I don't want the risk of high humidity so I've decided to go with an in wall AGE tank ~260 gal. I'm in Michigan so we have cold winters - it's about 20 F outside right now. So, I plan to install a HRV (Heat recovery ventilator) to pull out moist air in the winter while retaining the heat with the incoming dry air. I'll run it off a humidistat. I also plan to install a mini split AC unit for the warmer weather and a Chiller mainly as a backup in case the mini split can't adequately condition the room such that the tank temp is maintained.
