Anyone had long term success with aquaforest stonefix?

I’ve heard some stuff about it cracking- but to those who did their aqua scape a couple years ago, how’s it holding up? i’ve bought some of the stuff and have some heavy rocks that will need to stay out. don’t need rocks falling onto fish and glass

I used it on my Real Reef Rocks (which are colored cement) and each piece is very heavy. I created ledges with it and NSA with the rocks and StoneFix. There is no way I can unattach the joined rocks except to take a hammer to it. The scape has been in my tank for 4 years. I have removed the rocks recently to clean algae on my rocks that I could not reach in the tank

Mix the cement in small batches.

Not really long term,but about 14 months using superglue then finished off around the joints with aquaforest stone fix and lots overhangs and no problem at all so far.
If you using just the stone fix,sorry didn't go that route as was just easier using the quicker setting superglue to do the aquascape then add mortar for good measure

I had some rockwork which was probably 3 years old and only came apart when I took a hammer to it.

Watch the AF youtube on how to use it. You have to glue fast.
