I bought fake plants for my turts and I want to glue those marbel rocks to them with a glue gun the ones that are hot glue the little white sticks that melt. Is this glue safe to put in the tank? Are those marbels ok too I can't think of the name of the material.

I used a hot glue gun to put my basking ramp together and to glue some plastic plants to it. Just make sure the package for the glue sticks specifies that it is non-toxic or that it is safe. The marbles should be fine too since they're usually made of just glass. Just wash them in clean water before you use them. Oh, if you're talking about the marble rocks and not the glass marbles, then, yea those should be safe too, as long as they haven't been contaminated by any chemicals or oil or anything (where did you get them from?). Just clean them in fresh water as well before using them. If they are really dirty you could soak them in a diluted bleach solution for 20 minutes, then rinse and soak them in fresh water like a hundred times or until there is absolutely no chlorine smell left at all.
