Are aluminum screen frames fine to use? Won’t they rust over time? If I paint them what paint is safe to use?
Thanks in advance

Just get one of the kits from BRS that are already black. Aluminum shouldnt really rust on you, while it does oxidize the aluminum oxide wont flake and penetrate like Fe2O3Are aluminum screen frames fine to use? Won’t they rust over time? If I paint them what paint is safe to use?

The BRS frames are the exact same as HD and Lowes sell. Only thing I couldn't find at HD/Lowes was the netting as all they had was bird netting which had too large of holes.

I made all mine with frames and hardware from HD; cicada netting off Amazon (much better than the BRS stuff).

I prefer white color netting which makes everything brighter.
I did have a glass top but water would condense on glass. Also would have to clean weekly due to build up.Thanks.... why not just go with glass covers on top. Especially for those aquariums that have a frame with divided sections. I suppose people use open tops for ventilation, but isn't that what the sump does?
