Just a quick warning.... Make sure you get "plumbers epoxy" and not "plumbers putty". Back a year or so ago, a reefer on one of the boards made this mistake and killed his tank. Seems the "putty" has all kinds of nasty chemicals in it. HTH,

Yes, good point. Harvey's makes plumber's putty too, although it doesn't come in a tube. They also make pipe joint compound. Both are oil-based, and would be a very nasty thing to add to a reef tank.
