I also wanted to use the stainless steel pipes for my input and output because i love the look of the metal but decided to stick to clear glass and acrylic for two main concerns,
1) I wont be able to see through the pipe with stainless steel, that means if there is anything growing in the pipes or if it gets clogged, I won't be able to notice it immediately.
2) stainless steel will rust eventually. Though it takes longer than normal iron, once the coating wears off, stainless steel will also rust.
Hope maybe someone here have experience using them for a long period of time though can advise!
