Does anyone know if these glue ingredients are safe to use in diy
projects for our reef system?

The glue is called Stix-On Contact made by Power Poxy
(www.powerpoxy.com). The label says waterproof, dishwasher safe, and
mentions exceptional resistance to salt water. The ingredients
listed:

"Contains toluene, acetone and hexane"

Once they are fully cured, they are fine.
Standard solvents for many plastics, in the case of many adhesives, there is a
plastic resin in the adhesive/epoxy.
Do allow at least 24 hrs to cure though.
