So last night I went out and bought a ceramic space heater. My thought process is since all the tanks are going in one small garage that it might be better to just heat the garage with a space heater. Drywall has insulation, no insulation on the garage door. Turn the space heater on and PH...

I have a new home where I would like to plumb the 70-100 gallon sump into a small basement that is only accessibly via an outside door, so airflow is a bit of a concern. The basement is about 7 ft high, 8ft x 5ft. My primary concern before I put any water down there is to ensure humidity...
