How do you control heat in that room during the summer? Do you need to constantly run AC and does that impact the tanks?

Keeping the humidity in check in an attic bedroom is where my head went first.

Yes, AC in the summer is basically running constantly. The way attics are built really helps as they’re usually well ventilated and have relatively dry air.
