nnewhouse Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 What is the best reef safe epoxy I can use to glue LIVE, not dry, rock together? Thanks for the help! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Aquamend works really well and its like 3 or 4 bucks at Home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnewhouse Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Where do you find it within the store? (i.e. adhesives, pond supplies) I don't think we have a home depot. Does Lowes carry it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have never gotten one to work long term so I have taen to drilling the rock and using plastic rods (plastic hangars) to keep the rocks in place. JME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I like the drilling idea better myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrd Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've used Marine Lands but not anymore as it is white. D&D makes a pretty good one But two little fishies aqua stik is best-IMO, plus it is red I had to move some rock work I had epoxied, I tried to seperate it where I had joined w/ the epoxy, well the epoxy did not give way the rock broke in a fresh place not where it had been joined- Beat that. People can skimp but I dont care for a piece of LR tumbling and cracking my glass or breaking a SP colony of Oregon Tort-LOL Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Aquamend is great stuff! I have used it several times with no problems. The TLF stuff is also nice because of the red color to it too but is also more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
