Shouldn't make a difference really, the humidity would've come from pure
evaporated water, same as marine humidity.

I had a 175 gallon freshwater Amazon tank in my living room for 15years
and
the paint peeled off the wall behind it due to humidity. I'm not sure if
rather acid conditions played a part, nor if salt water tanks would've
been
less or more destructive.

In our cold Chicago winters the tank provided what felt like needed
humidity
and served as a real deterrant to anyone wanting to sack out on the couch.
Something about the sound of the filters and water trickling tended to
make
couch sleepers head to the bathroom every couple of hoursg

I don't, but I do feel the humidity from two tanks in one room. Try
4000g
and
you can imagine the moisture in the air!

I read the recent post regarding Mr. 4000 and the possibility of
salt/evaporation problems causing him grief. I have never noticed any
problems from evaporation or salt in my home from my 150 gallon tank.
Has anyone else had a problem with larger tanks?
