Using a linear air pump in a wet dry sump system for return...

The ventilation is important. I run a small window size exhaust fan spring,
summer and fall in my basement fish room and a dehumidifier the rest of the
year. I have considered a heat exchanger, but I haven't purchased one at
this point.

Last but not least, you should plan for adequate ventilation. A wall or
ceiling mounted exhaust fan of suitable size, and also, corresponding
vents to allow in fresh air. In a tight room the humidity will be high
and everything will be wet....and spills would never dissipate. I
forgot this on the earlier post... For vents I like the little cheap
plastic ones intended for the end of a central air duct, that allow you
to adjust how open or closed it is...
Perhaps a bathroom type vent could suck enough air, some of those have
heaters in them...but I wonder if there is a thermostat. Of course then
the question of where it would be vented to arises. I have two
bathrooms in my house. One is vented out a duct and out through the
roof, while the other is simply vented to the attic.

I guess your local weather pattern will help decide what if anything you
will need to do.
