The lift is made of aluminum and steel components. We've powder-coated everything we can, and the only tapped holes are in aluminum components. Our concern is with the exposed steel in the bearings, the bearing rails (the body of the rail you see in the video is aluminum), and the internals of the actuator. Our plan for corrosion protection of these components is splash protection, ventilation, and regular lubrication and maintenance. The design is such that all components can be removed and serviced while the aquarium is against a wall.
