Aluminum center pieces

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the use of aluminum center pieces:

>From what I understand, al. centerpieces are very expensive and of 
limited use because they are not coated/anodized etc.

What buffers have shown to damage the cells, or should I better ask
what buffers can be used?

Is there a way to coat the center pieces with teflon or another inert
substance? Has somebody anodized the center pieces and is using them
with anything else but distilled water?

All comments and suggestions are welcome, I would be happy to compile
the responses and post them to this listserver.

Regards, -Borries
