Ornament/Decor repair

[laughlady1]

Hi. We have a Spongebob ornament for the aquarium, and alas, Spongebob's nose fell off. Is it safe to use a hot glue gun to secure it, then put it in the aquarium, or is it toxic to the fish?

Thanks!!

dont use hot glue. it wares off in water.

use 100% silicone and attach it on there and let it dry

Silicon tkaes 72hrs to cure, but it drys within 12hrs
do not use untill it's cured!

Make sure you use a silicone sealant that is rated for aquarium use. Some sealants contain fungicides which will leach into your tank.
