Epoxy and Adhesives

What is the BEST epoxy to use to attach live rock and coral? I have tried several but they seem to turn loose after a few days. Brand and selections??:confuse:

Aquamend

holdfast works well for me. with any epoxy you need to let them setup for a couple minutes before you put them in the water. this allows it to cure a little bit. if you dont it becomes so sloppy to work with underwater and you will become quite frustrated with the whole thing.

Aquamend

The only problem I have with Aquamend is that is hardens as soon as it touches water....IMO.

I'm speaking on behalf of Aquamend Gel...is that what you were referring to, ReefDoctor?

Nope never seen aquamend gel? I am referring to the 2 part epoxy Like a clay stick

We use several types, but have the best results with the Deltec (D&D) Aquascape putty. It's super sticky, as well as coralline colored.

I like Aquastik epoxy putty, from two little fishies, Inc.
