How to Keep Salt Creep(?) Off Everything in the Room

[FunkEngine]

Title basically says it all. Almost everything in the spare room my tank is in gets covered in salt, even things 10ft(!) away. I have a mesh top, which I think might be a place to address this. I have an ATO so things don't run dry in the display ever, my vortechs don't suck air either. Only place I can think of that would give spray would be the skimmer in the sump, but the door is shut, though there is a small gap around the door.

I have my computer desk in the room, so having salt cover everything is not so ideal.

Is it definitely salt?

when water evaporates it leaves the salt behind so unless you have a fish spitting water around the room I can’t see how that’s happening lol

The only area we have a problem with salt creep is behind the tank. We purchased thin sheet of plex-glass and fasted to the wall to save the paint/drywall.

Reasonably sure. Everything metal is corroding and it sparkles in the light if you rub your finger over upright surfaces.

Maybe buy / build a glass or acrylic top to the tank?
