Is gorilla tape tank safe?

[Pmacha1a]

I just added a JBJ nano led to chamber 2 of my WB 20 cube and have this sliver of light shining through. It comes from a slit in the InTank media basket. I set this up with chaeto to be a refugium and don’t like the bleed through. Would gorilla tape on the media basket do anything to my water?

I would not put Gorilla tape in your tank. Who knows what is in the adhesive and how long it would take to break down in the water.

I once used it on a fish jumping barrier a ways above the water line and found that the evaporation led it to lose its adhesiveness and fall of quickly (in my case, it just fell behind the tank no problem with pollutants)

Is this light spill coming from the rear chambers under the false wall into the display? If so I have been experiencing a similar scenario and found putting a sandbed down in the display stopped the issue. If you are BB it might take so ingenuity to solve.

I use it to hold aro tank lid down
Lol. No issues here

The rear wall black covering is intact. This is a slit in the media basket that allows the light to shine through. I’m thinking of trimming off a strip from the chamber box cover I have and sliding into the slit instead of gorilla tape.

I have a thin cutting board in my sump to help block light from the fuge light. A small piece of plastic or dark acrylic might work.
