1929 Baby Grand Piano in same room as Aquarium???

[Doppler17]

SO i just purchased a 1929 Baldwin Hamilton baby grand piano for my wife... It looks like the best fit for this piano is in the same room as my aquarium. Which atm is only a 55 but i have a two much larger tanks sitting in my garage right now that i was looking at setting up one of those two in the same place as my 55g.... what do you all think could this be bad for the piano? humidity / evaporation from the tank in the same room? The room is about 10' by 10' with 3 walls and open air connecting it to my family room.

What do you all think? Have any of you had situations like this before with any adverse results???

thanks for the help in this...

Ideally...I say don't do it if you plan to go with a tank over 100 gallons. I am going to assume that you have a typical bay area home. I will recommend an updated HVAC system to deal with the humidity/evaporation.

I live in a what I would call a larger 2 story home. In Oakley, so the air is a bit less humid here naturally than SF and Berkeley. Was built around 2005 so everything is pretty new still.
The room that is next to the 10*10 tank/ piano room is a large game room like 15*18... Very open floor plan in my house. I never thought about the humidity of a large tank before....

The smaller of the two tanks is 135g . Then there is the big tank. At like 300g .

Thanks for the input

I'd get a dehumidfier just to be safe. Their cheap, if your really cautious get a dehumidifier with a controller once it its your setting it turns on.
