Personally, I don't think you should have a tank in the garage if there is no ventilation.

Mold will form, humid conditions, not healthy for the tank. There could be a lot of problems down the road even if you don't notice it yet.

ummm first off how big is the tank? and how big is the garage? For all I know you want to set up a 55 gallon in a two car garage. If so humidity will not be issue at all. If this was a issue people who live in Florida would all be driving rusty cars since garages can be humid as hell during summer months.

That being said I don't recomend a tank in the garage for other reasons. Such as can you predict weather? I didn't look where you lived although do you have cold winters?? or if your somewhere hot, how you gonna cool the tank on the extremely hot days? What about when you clean your car, use chemicals, sweep up dirt, and all the other things people do in garages. I wouldn't want any of that getting into my tank.
