Question for those with large tanks (corrosion air handler)

[jam583]

I want to put a large tank through the wall. Large being around 240G or so. The room on the other side is my utility room with the HVAC system air handler, well compression tank, hot water heater, and water softener. I will be able to vent the room to the outside. But .. my question is related to corrosion of the air handler with the back of the tank and sump in that room. Thoughts?

The sump and tank would be 3 feet from the air handler.

You can't escape the corrosion of saltwater on metal, and any area around an aquarium is going to be humid. That means you will need to vent your utility room not only for temperature but also for humidity - or - enclose the space around the aquarium and heat/vent it separately.
