you can get the plastic clamps at OA...I think JL has them too. Most SS clamps are not 100% stainess...the gear is not.

Like Mike said, most SS hose clamps are not 100%. I special ordered some that were 100% SS and used them in my sump for a while. After about 6-8 months they started to rust so I assume they were not the right grade of stainless. Didn't cause any problems that I could see though, and I removed them and used Zip Ties with a zip tie tightener which worked great. A few days until you can get replacements will be fine.

the tipical SS hose clamp is good for fresh water but will still rust in salt water as they have to use a different ss aloy to keep it maluable so it doesn't get brittle and brake from bending around stuff. I would stick with plastic if you can.
now if this clamp is outside the tank and not submerged then goahead and get a SS hose clamp from canadian tire. Steve
