Super glue

[Tyler2354]

Is dry super glue toxic for tanks? I want to get some suction cups and super glue some sea shells to them and stick them on the inside of the tank. But it seems like that could hurt the fish and the overall health of the water. Suggestions??

Try using aquarium sealant.

I'm pretty sure locktite super glue is aquarium safe as well as gorilla glue.

I would feel safer trying aquarium sealant. Where can I get it at?

hardware store. GE1 silicone

Most lfs should have it too.

And the ge1 silicone will make the shells and suction cups stick together??? Also, how would you make sure the shells and stuff was sanitary for going into the tank???

soak them in boiling water for a few or run them through the dish washer with no soap

Any GEL superglue is okay once it's dried, but while wet is toxic.
