Is it safe to use zinc coated stainless steel corners on a DIY wood fiberglass mesh lid?

I already bought the wood for my tank, just want some corners.

I cannot find corners to buy for though this, would stainless steel, zinc coated corners be safe to use in a freshwater planted aquarium? Or is that toxic?

If it is, what do you suggest I use instead? And can you post a link to it? I live in Canada.

Found a guy on Etsy who laser cuts fiberglass into anything you need for $22. Ripped the glass off my computer and did this with screen door mesh. reddit.com/gallery/ouxbj9

Is this a silly idea? Gluing small river rock to fiberglass window screen mesh to make a cover/camouflage for my pond filter?

The filter box in my pond is a bit ugly, so I'm looking for solutions to cover it up a bit.

I was originally thinking about forming a piece of hardware cloth, then using 100% silicone caulk to attach smallish (2-3") river rock to it. Then I saw discussion of not using galvanized hardware cloth since it can leach harmful chemicals into the water.

Someone else mentioned that fiberglass window screen is safe, so that got me thinking that I could attach river rock to that and have a nice, flexible, organic-looking (hopefully) cover that would still let water through.

Ridiculous? Genius? Somewhere in between?

Fiberglass tape = best drainage hole mesh. Sticks in place, doesn't rot, cheap, and one roll lasts FOREVER. You're welcome!

OPS 3L hydro/tank pouch - $30 shipped - Unused. Fits a 3L bladder or most common air tank sizes. Mounts to the back of a PC with molle, or can be rigged with webbing for a backpack. Got it and realized I hated having a tank pack.

OPS padded battle belt - $45 shipped - Also unused. One size adjustable from 36" - 48". Pouches were attached to try it on.

Evike Fiberglass mask - $50 shipped - Unusued. One size fits all. "Blue paladin" mask model. One of my relatives gave me this as a gift, and I didn't have the heart to tell them that I prefer larping in camo.

Air tank sold

My first project I’ve ever built - a window box for my cats. I used poplar, oak, and a ply wood base. It sits like an air conditioner and it has fiberglass mesh screening. I’m really proud of it.
