ANSWER: Hello Chris,
I am not sure i understand your question..
But, typically metals are not good for aquariums. Specifically, Copper. Brass is an alloy and contains significant amounts of copper.

QUESTION: Thanks. You answered about brass. How safe is stainless steal, or aluminum?
AnswerIM not familiar with any harmful affects of other metals... I know metals will corrode and will get into the water and into the critters, but as of yet, I am not aware of the levels that things can tolerate or be harmed by...
I do know that stainless steel is used by some pump manufacturers, so, hopefully it isnt too bad...
