What about dryer hose and one of these? I don't know how they would stand up to the humid air though.

You also need to look at what will be able to handle the saltwater without completely giving out. Good looking product Brandon.

Unless I'm totally off my rocker, salt doesn't evaporate.

Well maybe it is the splash or something but every single fan I put on a tank corrodes beyong belief and they are pretty far away from the water.

That looks like a great solution to rooms that require more flow and cooling because of a tank. When the fan is on it would push cool air into the room so the salt/humid air would not come in contact with it. If you installed it up the line a couple feet that would completly isolate it from the salt air.

I agree, great product!

Great ideas ya all. I think I really like the dryer duck and fan one, considering it will be in a large closet, I dont think I would need but one.
I also like those for thier intended purpose. I have never seen those, thanks Brandon, I forsee another project in the near future. :D

neat looking HVAC booster, but that's definitely not meant for moist air... I still like the stove venting or bathroom venting fans myself... definitely good ideas tho!
