Slate/Tiles Floors. To grout or not. Solved?

How about the humidity levels with the rear and side vents?
I'm going to be building a tank soon and trying to get it right the first time....
What did you end up doing for the front?
Nice job overall!

I havent had any humidity issues at all. I used sliding plexi-glass for the front.

The most important aspect of the sealer is that it is Water Based and dont see that on the one you linked to. Both Aqua Mix and Polycrylic have Water based sealers. Polycrylic makes a very nice water based sealer that you can get at home depot that works great on wood. AquaMix seems to specialize more in flooring and grout sealers but I cant say 100% as I used Polycrylic on all my wood.

I had a friend who owns a tile saw which made it easy to make the cuts. He had to take the wood to his fathers house to cut it, this is where I made a small mistake and had to make extra cuts on the slate. What he was suppose to do before cutting the pieces in half was to lay out the tile and cut accordingly. Instead he blindly cut it. No big deal though. easy fix.

Yes that's true a tile saw it's really an easy to make the cuts.
