I'm using a piece of 1mm black rubber to shield my skimmer from light, so that algae doesn't grow on and inside my skimmer.
But are rubber safe to use ? or will it leak anything to the water ?
I've made a simple test leaving a piece of the rubber in a glass of tank water for 12 hours, and the water does not look, smell or taste different than the control water (another glass), but I'm aware this not a sufficient test, but the best I could do.
