Sealing up leaks with epoxy?

[pmeninger]

below is a picture of very slow leaks that I have on my seaclone.

What I need to know is there special epoxy that I should use to seal up these leaks, or is the type at home depot that is "aquarium safe" ok to use in slatwatre reef systems.

If the home depot stuff is ok, can this also be used to seal my baffles into my future sump project.

If no on home depot can you give and good recomendations of good sealer.

Plummer's putty. It's an epoxy in a tube. Squish it up, stick it on and it adheres wet/underwater. Cures in about 5 minutes.

Not sure if it's exactly the same stuff you use to aquascape, but similiar.

Can I get this at home depot or do I have to go to LPS?

Does anyone know if this is safe for in water use like setting up baffles in a sump.

HD has this. LFS will have the rock epoxy. HD one says it's good for "for potable water".

Not sure about the baffles. You would need quite a bit of it and not sure how it sticks to glass.

what about baffles, what have people used to set thier baffles into thier sump?

I used silicone on the uniseals that leaked for me.
