Is the Smooth-On Dragon Skin platinum cure silicone rubber reef safe for a saltwater tank? I see this is the only silicone rubber you have on Amazon.

I can't say for certain, but I do know this silicone is not intended for that sort of use. I definitely wouldn't suggest using it to caulk the seems of your tank. Creating scenic elements (like a reef), maybe... There is specific "Aquarium Silicone" you can buy that is specifically designed for the sort of use you need it for. It's very pricey though. The biggest difference between the two is that aquarium silicone creates acetic acid during curing which has properties to prevent mildew and mold. Generally, if a silicone is labeled as food-safe, then it should be safe to put in your tank. To be 100% sure, I would opt for the silicone that is specific to my need. Smooth-On does make aquarium-safe plastic resins though, and they even have a step-by-step tutorial on how to make reefs. :) Good luck with your project.

Dear Steve, Thank you for your inquiry. Please check B00G57M3X4 , it is the ABS material and you could also check B00EXLDEGY , it is stainless steel stick. Both of these are work with seawater, of course, you'd better clean the product after use. Hope this could help you and wish to serve you sir. Happy New Year !!! Sincerely , Wmicro

Household silicone RTV adhesive is just fine in water (it's used for the corner joints in home aquariums), but I wouldn't trust it for repeated exposure to near-boiling water.....It just isn't strong enough at those temps.

Not sure if its coral reef safe but its definitely thee best all natural, non gmo, organic sunblock ive gotten so far! Just got back from hawaii and it worked really well for me no sunburn, no irritation, and if theres anything that id consider safe for the ocean it would be this :)

Here is just 1 explanation from Dr. Weil. http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA401181/Is-Carrageenan-Safe.html

Ads claim "Splash-Resistant." I would not count on water resistant. I have the same problem with sea sickness. Bought this item with no guarantee. Within 1 hour I was very sick. As a matter of fact worse than I ever was before. It sits in my drawer never to be used again. Good luck!

Yes, the Permatex Silicone Gasket maker is great for use with rubber. It is designed to be a gasket or sealer when a regular gasket is not available.It is not affected by vibration, water and most solvents. It holds great but is easy to remove if you change your mind.One small note, it sticks REALLY well to skin so use brush or gloves.I use this stuff for everything.

Hi Lauren, I just looked on the bottle and it doesn't say anything about it, but usually if it doesn't contain silicone it'll say bodyshop friendly. This doesn't say that on the bottle. You could check with Lucas. Sorry I couldn't help you better.

Because the silicone that heals wears down with use. It explains it on the box and probably the website if you do your own research. They do work, but they've changed it so it doesn't last as long as it used to. I'm going to buy it in a store next time to check out the quality first.

Most websites that teach people which lube to use during a sexual activity usually recommend that you do not use silicon based lubes with silicon toys. This will ruin the toy making it become gooey and sticky, maybe even change the color of the silicone on the sex toy. Because it breaks down the silicone in the toy it may also cause you or your partner to get infections. So I highly suggest you do not use silicone lube on silicone unless your going to use a non-lubed condom to put the lube on. Hope this was helpful to you. Stay safe!

I found this statement in Scientific American (link below): Consumer advocate Debra Lynn Dadd, who steers clear of Teflon due to health concerns, is bullish on silicone cookware after investigating potential toxicity. "I tried to find some information on the health effects of silicone rubber, but it was not listed in any of the toxic chemical databases I use," she reports, adding that she also sampled material safety data on several silicone rubbers manufactured by Dow Corning (which makes some 700 variations). "All descriptions I read of silicone rubber describe it as chemically inert and stable, so it is unlikely to react with or leach into food, nor outgas vapors." She adds that silicone "is not toxic to aquatic or soil organisms, it is not hazardous waste, and while it is not biodegradable, it can be recycled after a lifetime of use." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=earth-talk-silicone-tally

I have 36" wide 75 gallon tank and I have one of these up. Had it about 2 months my corals are doing ok so far. I have mostly soft corals and a few lps corals. I've noticed my soft corals have lost some color right under the light so its a little stronger than my 150w metal halide. Any wider and I would suggest 2 of these though as the light drops off pretty fast on the edges of my tank, but my soft corals are ok with that

I have this light on my 120 gal fresh water planted tank. It's the best light I've ever owned for for this tank. I've been using it about four months really keeps algae to a minimum the plants love it. So I'm not ignoring the question I mention all that because a reef light really is different, using a reef light on a fresh water tank burns the edges of the plants and can get some real algae blooms going. This is not the same as the reef light.

Several online sources list "reef safe" in their description of the product, but I couldn't find any mention of it on the company website. Apparently, these are the ingredients that are harmful to reefs - Oxybenzone (benzophenone-3), Butylparaben, Octinoxate, and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, and these are safe - zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and avobenzone. The active ingredients in Beyond Coastal's Natural line are zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, In their Active line, it's avobenzone. Under "Details" on their website it lists "Oxybenzone Free, Paraben Free" for both lines. But if you want to be absolutely sure that it's reef safe, you could send the company an email I'm sure they could confirm that for you. http://www.beyondcoastal.com/

I'm not sure how it is in salt water. What I can tell you is that you have to have a very deep tank and that the motor is prone to failing and leaking everywhere! I would not recommend this product or this brand. The company is not helpful at all.
