Aluminium??

Recommended Posts

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

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?
