Is this product safe for a saltwater aquarium environment?

Hello. It's safe for any aquarium. It has a high & low setting for the suction of the filter. I'm not familiar about saltwater tanks, but it's safe for all aquariums!! :-D

I use mine in reverse osmosis water (not salt water) & the filter works good.

I would say yes. I use it in a salt water swimming pool, but have not used it in the ocean. The device is sealed and should not let in any water, salt or otherwise. If you are worried about effect of salt remaining on the surface and drying out there, wash it off after use. Additionally, the instructions coming with the device do not contraindicate use in salt water.

Sure. I would just be careful as the uv sterilizer portion of this is what was faulty and killed my fish.

We've used it in our saltwater pool and it seems fine so far. We have not used it in/near the ocean, though.

I do not think so. I think there is a product called Biospira that is the saltwater equivalent. Not 100% sure though. I would do further research.

Don't know but I've been using it in salt water last year without any problems.

Have not read anything that said it was for one type of water or another. Considering how it works I do not see how it could harm your salt environment, but you may want to check with the company who makes these to be on the safe side.

I use it in salt water. You should rinse w fresh water after exposure. I'm on my second one. First lasted 3 years. Longest of any I've had. I recommend it.

The directions on the container say "use with your chlorine"... That being said, I don't know if they are compatible/useful in a saltwater system.

I would not do that. Not sure how this stuff affects ph etc... Use aquarium specific materials.

I am using it in a freshwater set up so I can confirm that the quality is excellent. I do not see why it would not also work well in a saltwater set up with glass.

I have many fish sick and a lot died because of this product (almost 100% sure). I have been dealing with aquariums for more than 30 years.This product has something that is very toxic.

It's non-toxic as it's a kid's toy first and foremost (mine sits on a shelf with other shark memorabilia) so yes, but scrub it first with some mild soap and rinse it off good so as to not bring any bacteria into the tank. And as someone mentioned it will have to be weighted as it will be buoyant.

Haven't used it in salt water, it is painted metal. Might want to look for something PVC. I've seen something that is clear as well.

I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be safe to use in salt water. It is a totally sealed unit. I am running mine in a tank with anti-freeze in it.If you know anything about anti-freeze and plastics, it tends to get thru any low quality seal. I have had no problems in that area. Tank seals leak, but not the pump.Hope this helps.

Yup! I've used it in salt water, fresh water, and chlorinated water without problems.

I know nothing about salt water - but I have a 55 gal fresh water setup with a home made undergravel filter - just PVC pipes and the Cobalt Power head. It's been running for a few months now and I have not done anything with the tank or water and it's perfectly clear and the fish seem to be happy. So it works great for my setup.
