I thought that the corosion would be mainly halted by an additive and if needed I could always have the case anodized. I'm pretty sure the anodization should protect the aluminum against any galvination.

Anodizing the exterior of the aluminium will not be of any help, in reducing the accelerated corrosion (a.k.a galvanic effect). You would have to anodize the interior of the aluminium tube. Also, you would have to make sure that all the joints do not leave any raw aluminium exposed to the water, because the accelerated corrosion would then be concentrated at those joints!
