Get a water faucet and a drain installed somewhere in the room. If you don't, the day will come when you wish you did (I know I do).

There is going to be a door from the room into the utility room which has the water hook ups for a sink and there is a floor drain in there too.

Not sure what you mean by sealing the walls, but it is an option I guess. How big of a dehumidifier?

I don't know about sealing walls either thats why I thought maybe you already had this bit covered. The humidifier I guess really depends on how many tanks/gallon you will have in the room. I've never had the need to own one as most of my life I lived in the desert, it was never humid.
I would also probably get something to measure the humidity level in the room just incase the dehumidifier isn't working to well. You could also run a hose from the dehumidifier to the floor drain so you don't have to worry about it stopping from being full.
i say centralised filtration system FTW...if not youll end up having to do WC's everyday (depending on how many tanks you have of course).... and a drain / water outlet for a hose.
On my big tank i wish i had setup a water inlet from a tap and a drain pipe on siphon... instead once a week i break my back carrying huge buckets!

i was thinking of putting a 55 gallon water storage in the utility room which will fill up with ro/di water and using a powerhead and hose to fill the tanks up from it

for a fish room, what would you recommend for a central filter set up?
