Reef safe adhesive

[overflowin]

I recently noticed the home made overflow on my tank (installed by previous owner) is seperating from the glass. When the return pump is off, a significant amount of water will drain to the sump... not good.

I need a reef safe solution to either repair the existing setup, or adhere a new overflow to the back glass. I know silicone is out, I was thinking reef safe epoxy?

Anyone ever done this repair? Save me some time and headaches?

Thanks

I would try the reef safe epoxy. I used some to repair a leaking seam on an HOB skimmer and it held the water just fine.

Will the epoxy putty adhere the acrylic overflow to the glass?

this stuff.


edit: hmmm, not sure if it will work with your acrylic though

I'm not sure it would be good under water in a running reef...

i don't think any thing will in that case.

Better option would be to fit a standpipe into the overflow to the water level you want. I think you'll have a heck of a time getting anything to seal in an up and running tank. Hopefully you have room to add the fittings.
