Speaking from experience, my corals and fish are doing well with no known negative side effects.Nothing in there specifically about being immersed in salt water, so I'd still hesitate to use it.
If you dont mind me asking, how long have you had it immersed and what are you using it for?Speaking from experience, my corals and fish are doing well with no known negative side effects.
its been close to two years since this thread started, what was the end result, flex seal yes or flex seal no ?I've done research about using flex seal inside my aquarium and everything I read points to it being reef safe after fully curing.
I plan on using it to coat magnets for DIY frag racks.
I guess I'm just looking for reassurance before putting it in the tank.
There’s no definitive answer, however the manufacturer states it is fish and potable water safe. The collective anecdotal evidence suggests that it is completely reef safe. I’ve not seen anything to suggest otherwise.its been close to two years since this thread started, what was the end result, flex seal yes or flex seal no ?
If you have a link for one you’d like to use that we can track down the ingredients, I’m happy to opine on it.@Randy Holmes-Farley any idea on which ones? I think I’ve read the liquid has been used but no follow up was ever provided. Apparently, the hole for my uniseal is slightly larger than it needs to be. So there is a very slow drip from my ato brute. I would apply the flex seal to the outside of the can (if I use it). Or just replace the brute itself. It’s just underneath a frag tank stand etc. not over,y hard, but not just a 5 minute swap.

im thinking it’s the easiest To use. I could just spray it around the uniseal and fix it. If not, I can buy a new brute.

It says non-flammable and non-hazardous BUT it also says mildew resistant. The mildew inhibitors are the problem. Just coat the magnets with epoxy and you know it is safe.
Wouldn't the toxicity of Flex Seal's mildew-resistant additive depend on the amount of Flex Seal and the water volume in the tank?
I did not see a mildew resistant additive in the formulation I saw an SDS for.
What did you see?
To be honest, I didn't read the bottle/can.
My question was based on the post by @P-Dub stating the presence of a mildew-resistant additive.
I dont believe it is and it rarely works with seawater as I and a couple of persons I know tried it unsuccessfully, but I did have success externally with a slow seepage on a bulkhead which stopped the seepageI've done research about using flex seal inside my aquarium and everything I read points to it being reef safe after fully curing.
