All aluminum fish boats and aluminum lower legs have a piece of zinc attached to them.
This zinc becomes the sacrifical anode and corrodes before the aluminum. If you did not have this sacrifical anode, then the aluminum would oxidize and eventually the high priced boat would sink.
I would not use any aluminum anywhere near my aquarium. Splashes always occur.
