I recently purchased mounting brackets for my orphek lights. The brackets are made of aluminum including the part that clamps to the tank. When clamped to the tank the aluminum sits about a quarter inch below the water. I contacted them about this and they said "It won't hurt anything if the brackets are in water a little. Eventually some of the paint may come off but other than that you will be fine."
Logic would tell me that this would put aluminum in the tank which of course will NOT be fine. I'm far from being an expert on the subject so I would like to hear some other opinions on this. Am I crazy or is this a bad design.
