REEF SAFE MARKER ?

[Desmond]

Can anyone advise the best marker to use on plastic pricing tags in a frag tank ?
I have seen some people use sharpie markers and let it dry well then add to the tank . Is this safe ? I have seen stores before that have prices marked inside the tank. Thanks for any help.

I've never put anything in a tank like that. At the store, we use paint pens to write on the glass. They scrape off easy enough with a razor blade. Probably not a real answer though.. let's call for some help. #reefsquad !

Good question, would like to know also. I see sharpie markets on everything at my lfs

Me too I've bought multiple frags with sharpie on the stems

I think the old school plastic label makers would be safer than a marker... and you can get them for less than $10

What about the glue on the label. Will this not dissolve in salt water ?

same here. Painting on glass and other surfaces similar to glass can be very tricky. Thus, having the best paint pens for glass will allow you to achieve precisely that.

I wish there was a good way to label frags. I've got a lot of zoas I forgot the names of. I've mixed up some of my indo gold torches too and have no clue anymore which is which.
