Are you talking about metal decorations or what?The only metals I would ever use would be titanium or aircraft quality stainless steel; and then only for a thin grounding probe. There are many tank additives designed to de-toxify metals found in tap water; that shows how deadly they are.

yeah only use coated objects and then some of those arent good to put in because they are designed for FW and SW will eat away at it. some metals like copper mentioned above is deadly to inverts and can get cought into the silicone seams and leach back out later even after metal is gone. Some fish are also sensitive to metals I would put anything but stainless steal that is designed to go into saltwater useage.
