Any thoughts on humidity management ? I’m planning a similar size build and it’s a concern

I also am constantly concerned of how I'm going to need to control heat and humidity in my office after the big tank is up and running. I'm leaning towards a mini-split with a ceiling mount cassette. A whole-house dehumidifier or ERV in the crawl space above my office would definitely solve the humidify issues, but I'm worried about the fact that these units sometimes **add** a little heat as they dehumidify. I've had an AC company quote me to install a dehumidifier in the crawl space and it would cost about the same as a mini-split.

Well, I finally finished my aquascape, have sand in the tank and I’m filling it with RODI now.
I also got 100% of the plumbing done and got most of the electrical done too.
I’ll provide more updates after the tank fills and I start cycling it.

Nice build as well!
We were in Bee Cave for 10 years, then moved to Llano to renovate a 120 year old house and start a brewery. We're back in the area close to the bridge on 71.
We put in an offer on a house in Lakeway on Rolling Green Drive, actually happy it didn't go through. It was a very large house and needed a complete remodel. The pool also needed to be redone, chunks of plaster were breaking off.
Man, this hits close to home. Just remodeled mine and honestly it just about killed me. The lack of contractors and experience out here really makes thing hard. Dont even get me started on the cost. Don't know how my tank survived these last 6 months lol. If you're ever looking for sometime, check with me first, as I tend to hoard stuff around here.
Having just done a foundation to roof remodel in Llano (also completely remodeled the brewpub in an old building on the square), the builder finishes here drove us crazy. We've already done extensive renovations to the house we just moved into, even though it was built in 2015 LOL
Can see some of the renovation here:

Just finished up like 1/2 of our kitchen. We've been here since October last year and can't wait to get more done. First picture is recent, second picture is from the house listing before we moved in. So far in the kitchen: - Took out the cooktop, vent, dishwasher, microwave and oven. - Moved...

Thanks for the reminder. I need to reconnect with the carpenter now that I'm ready for him to do his magic.

cant Wait to hear feedback on the skimmer.
