i know there are marine epoxys you can use and be fine but i think 100% silicone would be better just because it would cost way less but i dont have the foggiest idea as to whether it will adhere to the sand well enough. if silicone doesnt adhere youll probably end up using epoxy or gel super glue.

Thanks what about solvent weld is that reef safe

i think solvent weld is mainly for piping but yea it wouldnt hurt the tank if its reef safe. just let it thoroughly dry before you throw it in. put a lil dab on a scrap piece of pipe and see if a little sand holds in it good. i imagine it may be a little to thin to adhere something like sand grains. but if you got it laying around give it a try, if the sand doesnt fall right off when you rub your fingers across it it should hold just fine.
