Glue In The Aquarium

[Spanerman]

Hi, i just broke my glass co2 diffuser and i cant afford another for a while. is it ok to repair it with epoxy glue? will the chemicals effect the fish? i wont place it in the tank until its completely cured of course.

you would be better off using aqaurium ssilicone (like 3 pounds for a tube in most fish shops)

but unsure on the epoxy

just use superglue

i dont think superglue would stick glass

Rightio! its on the bend as the tube exits from the diffuser body, there's 0.5mm wall thickness so super glue definatly wont cut it, i think il try the epoxy, as it says its non-toxic on the tube.

silicone is your next best bet...

I realy dont think silicone will cut it, theres so little area i think il ''tack'' it with epoxy then seal with aquarium sealant does that sound ok?

do you have access to milliput? thats definately safe for fish...not sure about normal epoxy

 

[Spanerman]

I dont, but the ''normal'' epoxy will be completly isolated from the tank water by the sealent...
