looking for a reef safe liquid epoxy (preferably black) like the ones used by manufatures to seal the back of magnets and power heads. The one tunze uses would be prefect.

Would be interested in finding this for DIY applications. Hope someone has an idea.

Not sure what that is, but I'll give this a bump

I've used Devcon 5 minute and Devcon 2 ton 2 part liquid epoxies for my submerged reef parts with no ill effects. I made a 3D printed glass scraper and used it to encase the magnets. Works great, and is transparent too, so I can see if the magnets happened to be getting damaged early.

I've also used JB weld "Plastic Weld" which is available at HD with good luck as well on past projects. I just use the devcon stuff now because I buy it by the gallon for non-reefing stuff and it's pretty cheap when bought in bulk.

I have never used it outside of sealing a plywood tank but pond armor is a reef safe 2 part epoxy.
