Using Loctite Epoxy Putty 5 Minute Set

[OliverE]

Hey, so I’m moving in a few days (across town) and currently getting everything ready for the move.

Whilst I’m moving, I was planning to use the opportunity to rescape my small 10 gallon reef tank.

Is this epoxy safe to use (and leave to cure in only a short time) before putting my live rock back into the tank? Otherwise I’ve seen JB Waterweld might be the go, but thought I’d ask given I found this lying around. Cheers

Usually, but I tend to stick with specific reef-safe just to err on the aide of caution.

Kinda same relm of question but is all super glue safe for reefs? or just the reef safe stuff.

I honestly don't know. It all seems to stick the same to my hands.

it says dangerous to the environment... so I would say no.

In the caution at the bottom back of the product it says may have long term problems to aquatic life.
I wouldn't use it.
I have used 5 minute epoxy though. Made by Devcon. I think most are fine unless it says not for aquatic life. Once they are hard it's pretty much okay.
