SS is OK at best. It corrodes pretty fast as well. I have SS now, dying to get some Ti racking.

The alloy makes a difference. 316 has excellent corrosion resistance, 301 or 304 good, 410 or 416 bad.

I use lead, and it starts about 6" wide as it goes down one side of the tank, then splits into two 2" wide stripes that run accross the bottom of the tank, then 6" wide up the other side.

What is the purpose of the 2'' strips? Is this a better set up as opposed to covering the complete bottom. I bought a 36 X 36 peice of lead and just want to be sure I get the best set up.
