Is it a smart maintenance procedure to use some condectian remover in the gas tank, to avoid corrotion in the gas tank?

If you mean when laying the bike up for a period, empty the tank then start the bike and let it run out of fuel to empty the carb bowls and passages.

A bike won't literally run on fumes. As soon as the fuel level goes below the jet level, the bike will stall, possibly even before that since the bowls might not drain equally.
Just draining the bowls through the normal drain process will get more fuel out than letting the bike stall.

I keep my tank full with 87 Oct. and dump some HEAT gas additive in the tank on the final fill up and ride it home 10 miles.
The bike doesn't sit for more than 3-4 months in the winter and I clean the carbs during that time.
The tank looks great

Sorry bad English :)

I was thinking about corrotion in the tank itself, old tank and corrosion... I have some, but not much...
We need water in the tank for the corrion process to go further, and my idea was that by using STA-BILĀ® Fuel Stabilizer, I can remove the water in the tank?
I have not filled water in the tank.. but temperature change from day to night etc... let water in the air (condens) go into the gas... ?

So by using example STA-BILĀ® Fuel Stabilizer you can "brake" the corrosion tank ? or maybe not ?

If you keep the tank filled with gasoline it should not rust. I do that and my original 1977 KZ650 tank has zero rust. However, if your tank already has rust in it I do not know if keeping it filled with gasoline with prevent the rust from getting worse. Ed

Ethanol will remove any moisture if that's your worry. Metal Rescue is a good way to stabilize rust in your tank.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Like ed said, if the tank is full, there is no air, so there can be no condensation on the inside. Over winter, I try to keep the tank full and carbs drained.
