Glen Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi all, just wondering if aluminium is ok to use in a tank as a piece of gauze around the overflow box? Im a little hesitant about using it because aluminium will oxidise with salts (and water) won't it??? Interested to hear your thought. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I thought that aluminium forms that oxide layer very well and that in turn protects it from corrosion which is why they make boats and stuff out of it? I have often wondered the same thing myself will be interested to see the replies.. I know that stainless steel is sweet, and people use fly screen mesh from mitre10 commonly maybe that would be the way to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
