    So what happens when you get rust on metal? What metal doesn't rust?

    Throw it away and make a new one there cheap. or you could just find clip make totally from plastic. mines been in the tank for over a year with no rust and stainless steel resist rust, now salt water is another story it will rust faster but still last a long time.

    I'm looking for a diy veggie weight. A small piece of zucchini won't do for my growing pleco, he eats a half slice of full zucchini. I've used a steel fork to weigh it down though not sure if that's ok to be in the water.
    If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea...

    I do the same thing with my Plecos jam a spoon handle into it and drop to the bottom, seen lots of people do it, works quite well.
