![]() Yeah, I wouldn't recommend blue for putty, but you can nice purple colored stuff that just looks like coraline algae, and given time the cream colored stuff (which I prefer) gets covered in algae etc. too so not such a big deal in my experience.

![]() Yah I have the blue, grey, white, pink, purple they all stick out but then again in a younger tank it will, Im hoping once the rocks start to colour up and the zoa's start to spreed then it wont be an issue.
I dunno everyone has different needs and preferences and I can see why the putty is better for SPS corals but for softies I use the tried and true glue.

![]() I've been using some stuff i got at OC out here called speed glue. It's a powder you add a bit of water to. took a few times of making it into peanut butter, and it would fall apart in the tank, i found out that adding a bit less water, letting it semi harden, it works GREAT. Corals that i've mounted on this stuff actually encrust on it nearly right away, it doesn't burn the coral stems like epoxy does. I've used it for holding rocks, once it's ahrd it won't break, seems great.
anyways, just another option for you. I've started to love this stuff.

![]() if its just the rocks your looking to secure many people have used small acrylic rods or zip ties, just drill some holes and away you go, works good for weird rock scaping and over hangs with large rocks smaller ones ive always used epoxy .for corals you will have to look at other means like mentioned above

![]() with the Acrylic rod, you mean to use it as a dowel? Drill a hole in each of the peices of LR, then stick the rod into each hole? Anything more to it than that?
