can I use stainless steel motorized ball valves in my tank. I got a few of them for free. they are 2 inch an I though it would be a good way to make a bubble less surge. Will it rust and if it does is it bad for the tank.

Thought you could use only Titanium?

Some stainless steels will survive in saltwater, but I would use something else unless you can find details on the valves that you have. Many stainless steel products will corrode in saltwater.
