i don't know about corrosion from salt. probably a reaction with the alkaline chemicals in the evaporated water, not corrosion from salt. I'd be more worried about minute short circuiting from moisture, than corrosion of parts.

It's like how some cell phones kick the bucket if they've been brought indoors from the freezing cold outside many times. The minute condensation inside slowly kills the phone over time from the tiny short circuits that happen.

Being in calgary, our air's too dry to make much of a difference I think. Before we got the tank we had a humidifier on the furnace. After getting the 120g, the humidistat for the house hasn't changed much, since the humidifier aims to keep it up anyways.

Maybe if somone lived on a coast, or next to a large lake they'd have to worry about large ammounts of humidity emenating from their tank, damaging things other than their jiprock.
