Default metals in water question



Robin wrote:
I'd like to use stainless steel clamps to fasten an out-take tube to a pump
in my water garden. This tube runs from the pump out to the filter.

I've heard stories about fish being poisoned by different metal objects in
the pond. Does anyone know if stainless steel is fish-friendly? This is a
small water garden of only 650 gallons.

I was using plastic tie-clips for a while, but the tube keeps falling off
the pump and I have to readjust it.

Thanks,

Robin
