Seems like you're getting on the job training though.

Plenty of confidence around here...shortage of google searches I see? 
FWIW some stainless is suitable for saltwater - there are several different grades. There are even some very common examples, such as every Mag pump I know of. The impeller cover is held on by stainless screws. No problem!

I've never actually done anything or own a fish tank. I imagine owning it and google things that I would probably have to look up. Sometimes I use Bing but mostly I just have a drawing of a shrimp taped to where a fish tank would look decent. With the Internet and aquarium screen savers, my tank is stable! :S

Where can I get some of what you are taking?

Well I would say the sun, as I think I have partially cooked myself in the heat this week. Plus my pool pump got taken out by a tornado so I didn't cool off much in 96* water while the pump was in the shop. There really has to be some way to work around this blasting ball of light, I just can't figure it out.

Yeah once he played the Phd card and began posting graphs I decided not to play any more.

FYI there is not a single steel that will not corrode in a salt water environment. Some will corrode less than others, but they will all corrode. The chemical makeup of the stainless used in those screws may be deemed as not harmful in a certain sized tank, but they will corrode.
I understand there are several grades, the wiki link I posted for your reading enjoyment gives a nice simple breakdown of each grade if you'd like to learn more.

What graph did I post?
You mean the list of elements typically found in stainless, figured that would be helpful to see what you are putting in your water...and will eventually be leaching into the water.
I would just skip the science part and use lead pipe
No need to use depleted; use it straight. And I heard dosing magma can build a good structure for Hawaiians if you have a 55g or larger.
