They make a two part epoxy that you kneed together.Just one thing turn your protein skimmer off for many hours,or it will go crazy. |

Don't expect miracles even out of the epoxy putty, though it's the best thing I've found.

It might be, but be careful. Rectorseal, which is a dark colored two-part epoxy will let go after a short time and will be worthless. Also, some brands are for repairing metal and will have steel incorporated into the epoxy, not good for the tank. Read the label carefully.

I read an article about acuascaping that someone posted on here, and it said that Harvey brand plumber's putty was good.
