fishgirl53 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hi I would love to set up a marine tank in my lounge but have been told the salt air will corrode light fittings etc is this true thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Not unless you plan to hose the light fitting down. Lights on the tank can get salt creep or splash on them that will caus corrosion, but your lightfittings in the lounge will be fine. Remember, the water that evaporates into the air in your house is fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raeh1 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 when water evaporates it does not contain salt. So no worse than your freshwater tank. Saltwater leaking or spilling is a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
