can this be used in a saltwater aquarium?

Don't know. My only use was for an outside fresh water falls and pond. Works great there.

Yes the Stress Coat can be used with Aquarium Salt just fine with no issues.

This is designed for salt water - will work in fresh. Would not recommend trying a free water model in salt...

I have a freshwater tank but I just read someone else say they used it in salt water and I guess the salt can clog up the air bubble holes and they removed the light after a year.

I would think you could use it with salt water since all internal working parts that the salt water can come into contact with is plastic.

I've used it in saltwater and it's still in good shape - just give it a thorough freshwater rinsing afterwards.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

Yes. I bought this to use with my aquarium. You just need to wipe it dry after use.

Although I have never used it in a salt water application (I use mine to determine how much FRESH water I put in my RV's holding tank) my LIMITED research doesn't show that it can't be used for salt water (sorry about the double negative). One question asked about using the device for HEATED (90C) salt water, which was recommended against; however, I believe that was a TEMPERATURE recommendation, not a water type recommendation. Like anything else, I think you would need to flush the meter out when your done so the salt doesn't dry inside the system. Good luck!

Of course it can! The reason reef aquarium enthusiasts are interested is because we need the purest water possible before adding the reef salt mix. Essentially, we want it to be as close to pure h2o so that we have control over the final mixture. Pure is just as good for drinking as for mixing.

Not for saltwater use, you can use it but you got to clean it thoroughly. The inshore Abu's the less expensive ones are called the Orra's. The Orra so are not that much but made for saltwater ,hope this helps.

It should be okay in fresh water, though I'm curious why you'd want to do this. I wouldn't submerge this in a brackish or salt water aquarium.It is made of chrome/nickel (not sure which) plated brass and should hold up well against corrosion, in theory. However, I think that in most situations it would be a lot more convenient if left in an accessible spot outside of the tank.

yes you can, however most salt water enthusiasts prefer a much bigger filter, and often a sump below or next to the tank to increase biological filtration. Salt environments are more difficult to keep everything at levels the creatures can tolerate and thrive in.

Although its not recommended, you can use in salt water as long as you rinse all the metal componets after use with freshwater. You must take off the prop and spray water in there to make sure te metal doesnt rust. Ive use my 45lb minn kota over 20 times in the salt water and rinse it after and she still works fine rust free.

It would be fine,I have it on a 37 gallon salt water also and it has done an excellent job for the last year, just do your maintenance.
