kisuke228 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Will this rust? https://www.simwinliang.com/collections/boltless-metal-storage-rack/products/boltless-storage-rack-black It is powder coated on galvanized steel. It will be placed next to a saltwater tank and a small QT tank might be placed on it. Any recommendations a metal shelf that is next to a saltwater fish tank that wont rust?

Damien Lim Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think it may rust but only if you gash through the surface pretty deep. otherwise the coating should be thick enough to keep the elements out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwantreefs Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I’m currently using a black powder coated stand for a 180l frag system. So far no rust! Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
