Actually, from what I understand, the “lead” strip isn’t actually lead but some kind of composite. But even if it is lead, I think lead is pretty stable and it takes dozens, if not hundreds of years, for it to leach and it’s usually due to some other chemical in the water that reacts with it. I’ve read that there are some issues in one of the great lakes where ships used to dump their lead ballast hundreds of years ago. We’re talking tons of lead that has been in the water for a long, long time. I don’t think a 1/2 ounce lead strip in a tank for an hour at a time, every couple of days would have a chance to leach anything harmful… at least not in our or our fishes lifetime.
