ecotech coraal glue is da bomb!!!!!
 
honestly ive never used anything like it and i go through alot of glue, how good is it??


well to show a friend earlier how well it works i glued a 3lb rock to my glass, used the glue under water, no glue was applied out of water, in 2 minutes the rock is solid and still sitting there right now:P


with this glue im able to glue full size colonies upside down and on glass in a matter of a minute or two and the best part is it works just as well under water as it do out of water:P


if you want a coral glue this is the best bang for ypour buck ts $60 for a large 300ml bottle....compared to the tailor aquatics its a much better bargain and realisically if i bought 12 tubes of cheap $5 glue(which sucks under water btw) i can only get so many frags( ayeb a dozen if im lucky)

with this new ecotech glue im over 80 frags into it and still 3/4 of a bottle left:P

trust me there is no other product on the market like this right now that does even remotely as good as a job


thanks steve you were right this is by far a supperior glue:)

well then you obviously got a defect bottle, i literally glued a 3lb piece of rock to slimy glass underwater and held it in place for 2 mins....i was that confident i went to a friends to help with his tank and when i got home the rock is still mounted.


that is insane....

some more proof...i just set up my bonzai tree i glued 60 frags upside down and vertically all over the whole structure...every single frag stayed glued and solid.

for my design of the tank i cannot add more live rock ever theres just no room, so the ability to glue frags over frags over frags right in the water is sweet.

im sold 110% and i use every glue i can find i have i bet 10 different types in the frag room but none compare to this.

i even glued a huge piece of red slimy macro algae right to my back glass along with another type of macro:P


was simple run a bead across the glass under water, press macro onto the glue bead, the bead works that well under water i can run a bead right across the glas and it stays where i put it.


hell another great thing about it is just after 2 mins maybe even less its able to be molded like play dough thats awesome for filling the big gaps and getting the most bond:)

enough to get a glow on:P


for frags just a bit, less then i usually do, for bigger things i use a good glob then do a little tack weld with it ,after a minute or 2 you can even mold the excess glue so its flat and a good seal is made:)

had to get mine in edmonton lol wais is ordering a bunch he said he will order a dozen or more this week:)

I bought the big bottle
I used it to glue half my LR towers after I grew tired of the epoxy issues I had
Its great stuff, but not the best price for large usage
I glued the top of my towers with it, underwater, and it's solid as hell

I'm still using what's left for frags 'till it runs out

Works great on frags if you wipe them dry first, and you can always put a blob on the frag, get it wet, and then add another blob

I find it holds best if you spread the bubble of epoxy underwater so it sticks to the 'whatever' you want it to

+1...was there when he did it, the stuff is amazing. No more epoxy for me!! :biggrin:

Unfortunately I have different experience, it didn't really hold for many things I glued for a long period of time.
