yea it does, it depends on how much water your moving and your environment but i always had salt residue. example... a tall brass lamp placed near the tank after 6 months becomes heavily pitted and corosion starting.

the 325 gallon tank is in a seperate building behind the house (12x18) that has a window unit... after 9 months the ac started acting up, the fins fell apart. the salt ate it up.

there was one pc in that room, 2 intake fans and 2 out fans, the case was caked in a fine layer of salt at both openings and rusting badly when i "parted it out" just before christmas.

the dogs lick the salt off the walls.

i may have had a different salt environment then some... i was growing coral for resale, moving 10,000gph with 1600 watts of light.
