Is Plumbers goop the same as Marine Goop???

I am adding a drain to my ASM G-3 and I was told to use Marine Goop to secure the fitting. Well all I can find is Plumbers goop and my local Lowes does not carry Marine Goop just the Plumbers. So I am just wanting to know if it is the same and will work.

Thanks

Marine Goop has antimicrobials in it, so you DONT want to use it.

So what sugestions do you have for securing the drain line fitting?

the "household" goop is fine

Marine Goop is fine, it does not have anything different in it from regular goop other than a UV inhibitor

this is very good to find out...i have a fat tube of household goop lying around my house...but it says right on it not safe in aquariums...

i know there are several products out there that say that...so you guys have actual experience using it in your tanks?

I glue all of my sumps acrylic baffles, to glass tanks with plumbers goop, and regular goop. It holds very long and I have never had a problem.

Ditto, use it all the time. Not rated for aquariums is usually the mfg not wanting to be held liable for any losses should they occur.

Just make sure it is fully cured outside the tank first.
