musterbeard 1 Posted May 6, 2012 Have been having this problem for several months now. Thought sealing rubber on edges has gaps that caused water infiltrating inside bulb's compartment. Bought aquarium-safe silicone, closed gaps and still have same problem. Was thinking water comes through bulb's socket: I wanted to use white enamel paintspray on this rusty connector, but had to ask if doing so represents risk for the health of goldfish. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tithra 4,917 Posted May 7, 2012 I have no idea about fixing the leak, however I would be very concerned about the rust if there is any chance of water that goes in the tank touching it. Rust can mean very bad news for your fish 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you do this make sure you let it dry utill you dont smell anything at all. then it should be safe 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
