No metals, and preferably not too porous. Clean it well and see how it looks.

here is a good one for you, If I had to have something metal in my tank, is there a safe way to "clear" coat it?

 

[sgtbirch]

Yes there is. Although it may be difficult to get your hands on. I paint bridges and water tanks and we use a zinc primer. Although I think you could use any quality metal primer then use an epoxy paint for water. The problem is clear coat. The epoxy comes in a clear coat but I have never seen a primer come in clear. But the primers do come in metallic colors. If its good enough for the water you drink for 20 years or more should be good for the tank.

you can either coat them with an acrylic or silicone, the same type of silicone that is used for tank repair.

With the money you would spend on the materilas to clear coat items, that IMO should not go in a tank....why not spend it on more natural decorations

JMO!!!
