Fijicrete cure times

[albert_dao]

Reef safe epoxies are all garbage for rock aquascaping. They never cure to the same hardness as the rocks and are way pricier to scale over an entire project.

Waterweld from Home Depot worked really well for me. Strength is 900 psi

Albert's right on price. They are roughly $10 per small tube lol

So in my new slightly smaller arch I made some fijicrete putty and shoved it into the crack beteeeen the rock and the ground. Hopefully this will create a smooth base and prevent any movement

after picking up another few bags of fijicrete (thanks Eli!)

I have learned that the secret to this stuff is work quick then dont touch it for a while.. and when i say I while i mean 6 hours to over night ideally.. And only do one joint at a time..(at least when using it out of water). I have been trying to do one connection a day.

Its been a bit of a slow process but i think i have my structure almost there.
Let me know what you guys think or if you have any tips.

Looks good, glad you got it figured out

my pleasure.
at the right side arch I would be careful as it seems you have little Fijicrete or looks separated.
otherwise looks good and get some help to have your aquascape moved into place.
