yeah way to much time but i shouldnt say anything because i come up with crazy ideas like that too haha.. I just want to see you build this thing, seems like an awsome idead.
My next insane thought. Air tight Sealed tank
- Thread starter nfored
- Start date
I have drafted plans to do this on a smaller scale using a single sealed sump vs several water tanks. Might take a bit as I will have to build the sump from acrylic, but I am blessed enough to have a pretty awesome acrylic fabricator in my town so I can get some decent deals, I think I can make a sump out of 1/4 acrylic.
The problem I have ran into is the air dryer, I thought they made them for hvac but what I was thinking about is meant for ozone system so the air dryer only takes 1/4 tubing, I am not sure if that small of tubing can handle enough air in an hour to keep the system oxygenated.
coyotethug do you have a link? I would rather but then make on something complex like this, I am not ashamed to admit this it out of my leuge but I like the idea. can you explain more about the co2 thing?
I guess if what you say is true then you could do with out a air dryer and simply vent outside like a close dryer would. I see portable A/C do this. That could be a more realistic setup

IMO that would be the easiest way to go. A shower vent would to the same thing. When we finished our basement all we had to do was cut a hole for the hose to vent outside.

That is why air is forced into the system through one of the two openings. one opening would have a fan and a carbon air filter to keep the incoming air clean, and the the other opening would just be a vent.
not to derail you from trying this out because it sounds like a cool idea, but couldnt you acomplish this by simply sealing the tank and sump and running intake and vent lines to the outside of your house? probably best to use a fan and filter on the intake.
couldn't you also get a dehumidifier that drains back into the sump? sealing the tanks just seems like a bad idea...I get cabin fever breathing the same air all winter...
also could't you get a plant tank in that system to put O2 back into the water?

Yes, it sounds perfectly workable. I would just filter air from outside (or inside) and pump it onto/into the tank or sump and have an exit back outside for old, humid air being displaced by the new air.
Luge?
