Do you have plastic frames? I noticed that the aluminum does not work well for salt water. The edges erodes in about 6 months. Not sure if it is safe for fish.
Question by: Amos on Sep 2, 2014, 9:58 AM
Hi Amos,
We do not carry any plastic framing at this time. We have found the aluminum framing to be the best option for this application. I have actually been using our frames on my system at home and have not noticed any appreciable amount of oxidation on my over the course of a few years. I have noticed that salt creep tends to collect in the corners so that may be the bulk of what you are seeing.
While there may be a small amount of oxidation at the cut ends or where paint may have been worn away I would not consider it a threat to your system. If there is a build up of salt on your tops it may be a good idea to clean them periodically. Simply rinse the frame and screen with fresh water and wipe away and build up of salt or oxidation.
I hope this helps!
Have a great day :)

I just realized, regarding my last question I think it would actually be (8) 2ft sections if I wanted to create (2) 2x2 squares.
Question by: John on May 2, 2015, 7:00 AM
Hey there,
With the set up you are planning, you could order an extra two 2' frames in order to plan ahead to make the two 2x2 sections
