Garage sumps?

My garage is 10' tall the fish room is 8' tall and the exhaust runs over the top of the fish room to the outside wall of the garage with Galvanized steel spiral 6" duct. I have never had any rust or dripping show in garage. Exhaust fan is Panosonic and runs on low 24/7 and kicks up on Humistat if needed. I think the fan I used is 17 watts and was guaranteed for 5 years, been 3 and perfect so far. Nothing in my fish room is steel, but I do not have a moisture problem with the vent system.
I JUST moved my 8 footer out of the garage this weekend. It was epic hell and almost 20+ hours of work.
If the garage can be well ventilated and insulated, then its cool. But mine has a metal door so whatever temp outside was in the winter, it was also in on the inside. And whatever temp outside for the summer was, it was even HOTTER in the inside, like +10 degrees.
During the winter, if you dont have a room heater, condensation will build heavily, rust metals, grow mold, and soak the walls and doors.
thats if your garage has a metal door and very little insulation
