Hose Clamps + Salt Water

Is it safe to use hose clamps on submerged equipment. Is there something bad that can leach from them or do they rust. What is an alternative?

Joe.

My question now is if it is better to go with the hammered finish or the smooth. There is a 3% difference in the reflectivity. But would it be a more natural light scatter. Right now I have simple...

Thanks for all the response but things have cleared up now. I attribute it to possibly a drop in temperature (I don't think my heater is keeping up at night) and the increased specific gravity. I...

The ballast are "Standard" brand product code BALM0250QCA - 10118STD. If you call Nedco ask for Mat he was very helpful.
