Underwater Epoxy

SJSobczyk · #1 03-06-2007, 07:16 PM

Just wondering what people use for underwater epoxy. I have searched but i dont have any rock solid answers. I have heard something about one at Home depot? Can anyone vouch for this?

Thanks

Steve

i think the safest thing you can do is go to you lfs and see what they stock. If you buy from home depot or something, its a bit of a gamble as to whether or not it's aquarium safe unless it says so on the bottle.

i get my stuff from golds in calgary. its supposed to look like coraline but lets just say im hoping it will be covered soon. works great though.

Thats the stuff I have. It works well but some of my corals are really sensitive to it.

Yes, be careful with the Aquascape Milliput Epoxy. If you overwork it in the aquarium your corals might react harshly to it. Last time I did it the majority of the corals in the tank started spewing mucus - either byproduct or chem warefare - I don't know. Carbon took care of it.

after spending so much time and money on your reef, do you really want to take a chance on something you can get from a hardware store? especially after reading these responses about an epoxy that was designed for aquariums, i sure wouldn't. i've used the marineland holdfast epoxy before with no ill results.
