It seems that many are making mesh lids for their tanks using aluminum window frame kits found in hardware stores, or even at the LFS.
Won't the salt react with the aluminum and 'poison' the tank in some capacity? That and the rubber spline that holds the mesh together might even break down over time. I'm wondering if there's a reef safe epoxy or paint spray that can coat the aluminum frame to prevent any issues by using this material.
Thoughts?
