Is any O-Ring safe for my tank?
Hi, I'm setting my tank back up after a few years of it being down and I realized some o-rings on the pipe fittings got lost over the years. I have a brand new automotive o-ring set in the garage with the right sizes. Will it be safe to use those o-rings in my reef tank? Thanks!!

Standard buna o-rings should be fine.

EPDM is best for salt water.
Buna and Viton are acceptable.
