Can you place aluminum in your tank with no harm?

Wondering if this is OK when transferring corals in a right space?? I know copper is not good, but what about Aluminum?

Do you mean to leave in or just during a quick transfer? If the latter I would say no problem. I personally would not leave it in for any length of time.

Aluminium is not a reef safe material. It may not be a problem if you will use it only for a short period of time though.

I'm pretty sure chillers use titanium

Thanks all. Funny, I kind of figured it out at the same time you were leaving your comments. I had a piece of foil in my cabinet and when I went to pick it up, it kind of crumbled in my hands. The salt in the air must have started to corrode it. Thanks for your responses though.
