this is the stuff you get from home depot... i think.... .but i got it at moores
 
IDK i get my puddy from UWW. boston aqua farms line
 
If you werent so far I have 2 tubes you could have. I wouldnt use it. That is the stuff to patch holes in cast iron pipe.
 
steel rusts, so if it is steel filled, probably not what you want in your tank.
 
you are looking for Aquamend it is in a the glue area it is white with a green center I think the package is green.

What you have is the wrong stuff.
 
I use the stuff in your photos. Works great. I've used 20+ tubes of it and its totally reef safe. I turn down my skimmer before I use it because it will go nuts. I believe its the same as aquamend, just a different color and slightly cheaper.

I put some glue on both sides of the epoxy ball and u can stick the plug to anything.
 
this is the stuff most of us have used that was tested to be safe...not sure about the one you posted

I'm not sure a product that contains a steel filler could be 100% reef safe, I would stick with Aquamend.

Hello, do not use this product. Hamful if swallowed...Eye Irriation. Enough said.

Yup,that's the stuff.
I can't see the others pictures.But if it has any metal.......not good!
 
I'd def echo what most everyone else has stated, just use Aquamend or putty from an LFS.
 
k... wont use it.. to home depot.... well to home depot some time
 
Package is slightly different, but this is what I have been using from HD for years. This one does not say steel filled, but ingredients are the same. I know of many others that use it as well. If you search for it online you will see others that even prefer it over Aquamend, because it sets faster.

Agreed... I wouldn't use it just to be safe...
