    I would like to extend my spray-bar and would like to know if it is safe to use the Pratley line of DIY adhesives. If okay, which one?

    Theres the Green Pratley Quickset Clear
    Red Quickset Putty
    Pratley EzeeBond
    or Partley 1-2-3

    or would normal superglue work?

    I have my spray-bar running the length of the tank (shooting the width) at the top back but it causes a lot of tiny bubbles when positioned above the water. If i place it below the water line, I can see the spray-bar when looking into the tank and have no surface agitation.

    I was thinking of gluing a 90 degree bend at the end and adding a small piece that I will drill holes into and letting it shoot the length of the tank toward the intake for the sump. Hope this make sense.

    Any other suggestions

    Pratley Putty standard is fine for. I would assume the others are fine as well. Most epoxies will be inert when fully cured... but I have personally used the standard pratley with no problems at all. I seem to recall someone once saying you can even use it to plug holes in koi ponds with the water still in.
