You can store it if you want, but I’m just running it into the drain. I’m going to tap into the drain for my house air conditioning since it’s just a few feet from the tank.
Thank you!
Let's build a trap door leading to a secret fish room under my porch!

After careful consideration and taking your geography/climate into account I am going to take this opportunity to recommend a ventilation fan. 
Awesome build! Great idea!

Yeah I’m still trying to decide what to do there. A fan would just vent into my crawlspace, so if anything I want to ventilate the crawlspace.
I’m thinking of making the tanks sealed so they don’t evaporate into the room. I’d have to add vent hose/pipe to the tanks that run to fresh air. Not sure yet.

Good man with pulling a lil extra romex into the gang boxes. Its something that kills me on new construction (especially industrial). I get saving a buck but man, lol.
I'm done ranting.
Again, great job!

Thanks! Yes that’s the worst, especially when they leave like a 1” ground pigtail in the box for the next guy.

can you put the vent fan here?
You mean mounted inside pointed out towards the brick? That could work. I didn’t bother to run electrical to that side though.
I did put a box on the far end wall facing out to the open crawlspace. My thinking was, if I really needed to, I could mount a fan pulling air out the fish room into the crawlspace, and another pushing air out the crawlspace to outside.
The thing is, most of the year in Louisiana the air is already 90%+ humidity already. The fan would be pulling most air in usually.
I work in electrical and yeah… I hate it
Also, stripping off the romex sheathing before putting into box makes it a little easier down the road

Meh... If it aint required by nec and its my stuff I'm running romex. Usually less hassle than pulling THHN or THWN in a existing build. Cry once, pull once.

Yeah, whats up with all the termites? Is it just a thing down there, or do you have an issue that needs to be sprayed for?
Living in upstate NY, we don't have much issues with termites.

It's a southeastern united States thing. They swarm all over, some years are worse than others. I'm in Alabama and getting the swarms right now. I keep my house treated and I have never had a problem.
