I've used this stuff to, and I never have had any problems. However I have only used it in 120g+ sized tanks.

my system is a 14GAL
and ur description sounds bang on. ACK time to get an airstone. I hope my snail dont die. Ill post the brand name of the epoxy later today. It was a purple and green mix.

AquaScape Construction Epoxy?

his was either the tunze or the milliputty version.
I don't know if the kind aquattro is talking about is the same as you don't need to mix 2 diff puttys to use them reef epoxy in the green tube.

Maybe this issue is only for the kind you need to mix together....

Mine wasnt that stuff althought ive used that stuff before with no problems (but in the future im done with useing epoxies in general)... it was another brand so suppose to look like coarline algea when i get home ill post the brand... It came in a dark purple box. i bought it locally..

I got my GF to put an airstone in the tank while im at work. im going to do another water change tonight. of 25% theres bits of this crap all over the bottom of my tank. I really hope my inverts and corals dont start dying.

Aquascape is the kind you mix together too, I've been using it in my nano will no ill affects.

hmmm...
23 gallons is a almost double the size of then tanks we are discussing, might be the intrinsic difference.

JDigital - Aquascape construction is made by milliputt brand btw, we are talking about the same thing while aquattro is not.

just to clarify.
