My total water volume is 265 gals inc. sumps minus the rock etc. I have only used two little fishes aquastick . At the last episode I used about half a stick. I have not used any other brands but maybe I should try .I dont find TLF sticks very well unless you push into holes etc even if I try to dry the base of the disc to stickiness is really non existent

It isn't supposed to stick. It's a filler, not a glue. You wrap the base of your frag, then stuff it in a hole or crack. When the epoxy dries, it's stuck in place. It will not stick to the surface of a rock unless you smudge it into cracks and crevices.

My skimmer went crazy with the Holdfast stuff, maybe it was a bad batch, or is there a expiry date for the stuff (mine was a little under 2 years old).
