Corroded Plug Safety

[Huskymaniac]

Any electricians out there? I have an old coralife uv sterilizer that I want to hook up on my nano to help with water clarity. It's been sitting for a while and the plug is kind of corroded. Is it safe to use?

Yes it is. Just wire brush off the corrosion and put a light coat of Vaseline on it. All my plugs look like that.

Of course if the thing fell into salt water the inside may be corroded so I would open it up to inspect if that were the case.
