would this work under water? i wanna use it to tape my fish tank air tubes to the floor of the tank, so it stays under the gravel. would this work?

It might. I used it to hold a torn pool cover together for over a year. It never let go during that time.

Can't answer the "under water" part but I do use it successfully outdoors where it get's wet in rain, etc.

Hi Joseph, I haven't tried it under water, but I can't see why it wouldn't, give it a go, the only thing I'd worry about is if it would give off some chemical re-action and effect the fish Why don't you try rocks to hold the tubes down... It's pretty good tape....

I cant say for sure ive never tested it submerged for exrended periods of time. It's really good tape so it might be worth a try. Id think about trying hot glue on the bottom of the tank as long as its dry it would probably bond well and could also be removed.

Not sure it might the tape is really sticky....its like the old duct tape use to be

It works exactly like duct tape. It is duct tape with just a slightly different color. Don't bother paying the extra money for a funny name.

if you set the under water mode it should work better then when i used it.. i forgot to set it for underwater mode! lol but i was 15 foot under water and it didnt mess up or anything. i just wasnt able to take to many pictures because i didnt have the mode set! plus i was trying to take pictures and a video prob would have worked better ( i was filming fish!)

You would want to put this underneath the tank or in some sort of space near the tank. It would not hang on or go inside the tank.

I would give it a try. I used it successfully underwater to repair a large crack. Under water it acts a lot like drywall mud. I used a small taping knife to apply and worked it into the concrete. The product did shrink a little when it cured.

It won't float. I would use the squash tape to stick the air pipe to the bottom of the glass first and then put the gravels. Just a good practice you should put the gravel at the very end after you are done setting up all the other decoration items. Good luck!

Come on baby. This is for under water. You will listen unnormal sound if your tank no water

It will work just fine. Place in the tank where you want it, place gravel/rocks around it. Hook it up to an air pump and plug into an electrical outlet. Done!

I see no reason for it not to work under water. I own (2) of these and have install quite a few more.Very well made 1 way check valve.

Honestly I have no idea but if it works from keeping water inside a fish tank it should keep water from going in

I have mine placed under to the side of my tank But i cant see any reason why it wouldn't work next to it.

I use it under much more extreme conditions. In the rain with dirty/rocky soil and with extra hose attached to the end. I would say definitely it would work for your fish tank. My only caution would be to make sure it doesn't suck up tiny rocks on the bottom. I know I have some debris in mine and its running harder because of it BUT when this one goes I will buy another the next day. It's a great little pump.

I think maybe super glue might work better for that. This is more like a sealant for the edges of your fish tank, not so much a glue. I used it to seal tile seams (which didn't work great), but it peels off easily with a little rubbing (sort of like rubber cement).

Yes, we used it under water but once the liquid is put on the vinyl, you have to hurry to put it on the hole. It's helpful to wear goggles and as long as you can hold your breath you're good to go.

Should be fine but be careful not to bury it in sand/gravel as you would in an aquatic tank. The bulb on this unit is at the base and if you bury it in your substrate too deep you won't get an accurate measurement of the air temperature which is what you want. You would probably be better off getting a thermometer that can be mounted or suspended off the ground.

I guess you could use it to get things out of a fish tank. I never really thought about it. It might last for a bit if you dry it after using it. The metal appears to be coated but being submerged in water is not it's intended use and it will rust eventually.

Yes, it should be fine buried under the gravel provided you have a thermometer, which you really must have no matter where you place it. Heat rises, so placing it on the bottom probably is the most efficient, meaning it will get the tank as warm as is possible. If it is too warm, raise the heater up nearer the surface and increase or add some water movement. If it's still too warm, you need to put it on a timer, an external thermostat, or purchase a lower wattage heater. The 'water line' indicated on this heater is to insure it is well submerged, not to indicate that any part needs to be above the water. The heater is 100% submersible, it can and should be completely underwater.

It holds water and gravel with no support, so I do not see why not. I use it for my aquaponics and works well
