Is this the stuff?:

If so, the web page states it is not recommended for wet areas or water immersion.

As for being reef-safe, I have no idea.

Go to your local Home Depot. They should have "Aquarium Safe" epoxy. Cost about 5 bux. The one you have now does not look aquarium safe.

bought this...
Not a dig at you but everyone who posts these types of questions -- Wouldn't asking make sense before buying? :)

I've never used that epoxy, I use the putty instead.

if you go to home depot, go to the paint section and look for waterweld.

+1 to JB Water Weld epoxy, from Home Depot. It's NSF-approved for potable water contact. Many reefers on RC have used it, including myself, with no issues.

I personally love the EPO putty, and I'm starting to finally see some places selling EPO putty in the US, I ordered some online to try out, it is great stuff! Holds awesome and doesn't set off your skimmer... something to think about also!
