Marine aquarium electrical equipment maintenance.

This is important for aquarium electrical and metalic equipment longevity.

With the new LED lights and tubes as well as anything else like power lead ends and the female part of leads as well if visible, the plug holes in the power board, all fluro-T8 and T5 ends and their tomb stones,all bulb ends,chillers, all equip that will be any where near the salt water, with in two meters needs to be sprayed with nulon-silicon spray!

Never let this sprayed substance make contact with the water it will kill the PH,but if you do not put it on all items electrical and metalic in particular than wipe it off,(that’s wipe it off) don’t leave a coating on these items, it just a fine film left and the gaps it stays in that’s important, with out the nulon, these will corrode or rust or short out much quicker than you would like!!

If you make your own light fittings for the LED tubes,use the spray internaly and wipe off before use as well.

If you want to catch up by using this on your old gear,clean your power lead male ends or anything metalic with a (plastic) scourer not metal,aluminium or stainless steel wool and then wipe it clean and spray it with silicon spray/nulon and wipe it off and all is good!
