Any NC owners: Got a Question

Hey Everyone, I have 28g NC that started as a Quad bulb thing, it's currently a HQI with Nano tuners 2.18 upgrade. But now am having problems with the HQI cutting off and on, I purchased the 4 new fans, but all the screws have rusted to death, has this happened to anyone, and what have you used for it not to happen again? Brass screws? Stainless steel screws? Bronze screws? Aluminum screws? And also what size and thread?

Have ordered a New plastic cover from JBJ, because am going to have to break the plastic cover to try to remove the rusted screws. When I say rusted to death, the screw heads are not phillpshead anymore.
 
DEFINATELY do NOT get brass screws. These can leach copper into your tank if any spray gets on them. The chances are slim but i wouldn't risk it. I would use stainless.Home depot sells a damaged screw remover pretty cheaply. Alternatively if you have a dremel you can cut a slot into the top of the screw and use a flathead screwdriver on it.
