Aluminum

Question
I have a 60 " aquarium with 48" lights. I am going to put a brace, if you will, across the width of the aquarium (30") for the legs of the light fixture to sit on.

I will most likely use 1" square aluminum tubing. It is strong and will undoubtedly support the light fixture.

My question is: Since the aluminum will get some saltwater splash, will the aluminum leach any harmful products into the water?

Thank you

David
