I know saltwater is corrosive, most hobbyist do too but reading all these forums and stuff like 'how to start a marine tank, what you need etc etc etc'

they never tell you....saltwater is CORROSIVE, watch what you use to open bags, cut piping, put certain items on a wet towel used to soak up spilled or dripped tank water.

I used my Stanley knife and sissors to open 2 bags of 'live sand' and cut the return pump tubing.....

both are rusting now haha

just hoping I didn't touch my laptop or other metal stuff with damp/wet saltwater hands.
 
I thought it was pretty common knowledge that saltwater is corrosive. I would go as far to say that anyone who does not know this probably deserves to find out the hard way.
 
Agreed. I have stainless steel hardware on my cabinet that I know will have to be replaced in the not-too-distant future.
