Cleaning my sump yesterday and upon inspecting my Fluval SP4 I noticed that the machine screws that hold the front face to the pump have some slight rust on them. Should I replace them 316 grade stainless steel or just bite the bullet and get titanium machine screws?
 
Interested in seeing the response to this from those with more experience. Wondering if it matters because GFO is essentially rust.
 
The screws are probably stainless already and its just a bit of surface rust.. I'd just brush it with a toothbrush and put it right back into the tank..
That little bit is not going to matter at all..
