Aluminum would be the best I guess.

Walmart has aluminum fixtures. You could strip them and put anything you want in it. Lol

Well today I'll be getting my half of a generous amount of snails that Kwandrsn and I went in on together. Had a big algae bloom this week, likely due to focus feeding my Dendrophyllia every day for 2 weeks in the hopes that it would open. No luck! Decided if its going to live it will have do do so with me not polluting my tank for it. After many cleanings my tank looks better. Hate to loose it but its not worth the health of EVERYTHING else in the tank.

So one lonely Dendro polyp is open more than it ever has to date. Nothing open on the main frag yet.
It's the right most polyp if you can see it.
