Will this work in a saltwater tank and if so anyone have any luck with it

We did not submerge the LED light in water and actually have it sit on a piece of glass between the tank and the tank hood. Looking at the LED light fixture I'm not so sure I'd trust it to be submerged in water as there is some weakness in its assembly that would allow water to penetrate the fixture. We have had ours continuous day to day operation for over a year now without issue.

I am not sure what the specs say but I don't see any reason why it can't be used with salt water. All of the electrical components are pretty well sealed as far as I can tell. It is a brushless motor so there is no need for a seal that is going to wear out either. It's pretty cheap and worth a try. Jordan

I`m using mine in saltwater and it seems to be working well. Of course I clean it with fresh water after each use.

No it isn't suited for use in or around salt water. It's a very durable unit and all that but the conductivity of saltwater requires a detector designed to handle that application specifically. I have used mine on the beaches around where I live. That must be above the tide line in soil and rocky areas well above the brackish water table and it works well for that. As soon as you find salt water within the detection limits of the unit you are bound to have problems.

Ours is submerged all the time 24/7, we use it as a sewage pump and it has worked great, we pump once a week. Not sure about salt water.

Yes, I have used mine in both salt and fresh water. I just rinse it off good after use in salt water! This has been a great trolling motor.

Yes, it can be used in salt water. I would definitely rinse it off before you store it after using it in salt water, but you should be fine.

I haven't tried it with salt water, nor at that temperature, Sorry. It appears the internal vanes are plastic so the temperature might be a problem. Salt water shouldn't be a factor as long as it's rinsed with fresh water afterwards. Good luck.

I have a freshwater tank so 'I' can't say for sure about saltwater .. My daughter has a saltwater tank and said that removing water is the only way to 'lose' salt percentages ..

Unknown. if the windings are sealed it may work fine in 'clean' water (as opposed to saltwater). you would just have to give it a try.

I use it and seem to have no problems but I can't atest to the use in salt water. I should replace any filter sand.

This tank is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater as far as I know. I got mine from a friend and he had a small nano reef in it for over 3 years without any problems. I have a freshwater aquascape and a Betta male in it and it's fine as well.

You could use it for saltwater but the lighting may not be proper for what you plan on putting in the tank. It may not be suitable for corals or live rock.

I use it in freshwater but I don't see any reason why it would not work in a marine environment. Just make sure you rinse with freshwater after each use.

I don't think it can run in salt water. The reason I say this is that it must be in the water for it to start. The water goes through an internal cooling/power system and I don't think salt water would be good for it. I would contact the manufacturer directly to make sure this is true or not.

I dont have any saltwater tank none the less you can use it with salt water with no problem whatsoever.

No problem with saltwater. Just make sure you keep any salt evaporation on the leds to a minimum.
