lowes or home depot have a plastic grate that you cab have cute to size while you are there. You could easily attach magnets to it as well. It will keep it light weight as well.

There's nothing you can do to permanently protect metal emerged constantly in saltwater. Plastic eggcrate from the hardware store is cheap and easy to work with.

The black eggcrate is better looking and much sturdier. But where can you get it besides bulk reef supply?
