Ok , i have a fish room in my basement that has my sump ( 225 gallon ) 75 gallon fuge , 75 gallon mixing tank for W/C and a 55 gallon tank for T/O ...... im setting up a 50 gallon frag tank and i have noticed a few things that im a little concerned with , anyone have any issues with he same things ?
  1. My main water meter and pipes that come in from the outside wall are completely green from all the moisture , can I spray that down with WD40 and maybe wrap it in a plastic bag or box it off somehow to keep it from being exposed so I don't have any issues later with it ?
  2. The main gas line coming in from my meter outside , that pipe is really rusted for a few feet of length , again is there something I can do to those to keep them from rusting and creating a gas leak ??
  3. I have my copper water lines wrapped in insulation because they were sweating every time i ran my R/O unit , now i know i can run a de humidifier in the fish room to help but any other suggestions would be appreciated .

Thanks much
 
get a dehumidifier. I have one in the basement that just drains into the floor drain.
