I'm looking for a fish safe sealant, I have a project where maybe 40mm of copper pipe will be in contact with the water, I'd like to seal the copper pipe, anything out there
TIA Hope you're all having a lovely weekend.
Sealing copper.

Might something as simple as Vaseline do the job?

I'd be looking at marine varnish, but would be very dubious about putting it near a fish tank anyway.....???

a better option would be copper spray paint over 40mm plastic pipe with an acrylic clear coat.

Sorry I was too vague, I'm making a stand for my light out of copper pipe, for the four feet I was planning to notch a 10mm (40mm in total) groove out of the pipe to sit over the glass, I have my tank full to a few mm from the top. I'd like to seal it, especially the bits in the tank, the acrylic clear coat sounds good.
