What do you guys think about this epoxy from lowes? Oatey fix-it-stick-epoxy-putty. https://m.lowes.com/pd/Oatey-Fix-It-Stick-Epoxy-Putty/3132883. I went over to lowes to pick up some plumbing parts for the new tank im setting up and saw this epoxy. Just wondering if i can use this to glue rocks together? If its reef safe or not based on its ingredients..
Heres the ingredients on their website Mixtures
Chemical name CAS number %
reaction product: bisphenol-A-(epichlorhydrin); epoxy resin 25068-38-6 10 – 30
2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol 90-72-2 1 – 5
crystalline silica non-respirable 14808-60-7 0.1 - 1

Im clueless about chemistry[emoji29]
Here's my work in progress. The tank is about 30 gallon tank, custom cut that i put together. The sump is two 10 gal tank connected by a u-tube. Bean animal overflow with skimmer on the left tank and then refugium, return on the right. The plastic container on top of the sump is for the top offs for this tank and for my other 75 gal tank. I hope the u-tube works to bringing the water from the left tank to the right..

The pdf download from you link says not for use in aquariums... And I don't see it say specifically it's ok for potable water.
I have used JB Waterweld with no issues, I'd stick with that personally.
