safe lube for tubing connections?

[enz660]

I might have air being sucked in through the connections where the tubes fit with the intake and the valves on my Odyssea cfs500. I want to use some lube to paste on the connectors between the hose so the seal will be tighter. Whats a safe lube to use in case small amounts of it get into the tank water? Thanks.

Only one red ear slider is in the tank atm.

Vaseline works

How about KY? I would rather put a water based lube in my tank then petroleum based.

All the plastic in your tank is a petroleum product. Nothing wrong with Vaseline, but I would think that the teflon goop would work best

KY or Wet(TM) lubes are best. From my understanding, the Vaseline can cause it to erode.
