Magnets and Your Tank

Why not use one of Weld-On's products? That's used in many aquarium builds.

Might work for non load bearing purposes. or where water tight isn't necessary.

Hi,

I have been searching for some plexiglas adhesive
Anyone knows if this one is reefsafe:

It can still be bought all over the internet at places such as Amazon...just sayin'. If it were as big a hazard as the EPA is stating, my 15 year old tank would be long dead by now with all the hand-made equipment I have that was bonded using those very solvents, instead of having acros growing out of the water and the size of basketballs.

Once the solvent cures, there's no danger. the issue is with a certain ingredient while the mixture is still wet.

Amazon requires a commercial account to purchase 3 and 4.

ESHOPPS probe holder cost me roughly $5k in coral and a restart on my entire reef. I can't hate a company more. I won't buy anything from them again! After all the reports, they still sell the same rack and ruin more tanks.

This probe holder was in the back of my sump, so I didn't notice it in time. Then I fought trying to remove the heavy metals for weeks before Triton tests confirmed it was a losing battle.

Selenium and Lithium were off the charts.

Thank you for sharing your story!

Nothing that I know of.

Matt - Been trying to reach you - Sent you $135.00 on June 11th and have not seen the 2 trays I ordered, also no replies to my emails... Have I been duped?

I was able to pull these Eshopps pods apart with just my fingers. It appears they are snap shut and very little plastic solvent was used.

Here is one of my MP10's after very limited use (this was my spare wet side). They did replace it at no charge, but still. C'mon Man!!

Yeah, it's tough to get a permanent seal.
I did get some good seals using polyester casting resin.
