[Ahbaloch]

hello reefers, the tittle says jt,


I have 40 lbs of dry rocks tht has been curing for almost a month now,

I got 13 lbs of reefsaver and 25 lbs of pulaki

My DT is 37 tall,

Can someone pleaseee point me the right product, what cement, glue or epoxy can i use to put it all up??

I plant to put it all together, put it back in the tote for 24 hours so my skimmmer doesnt go crazy and put it in the tank next day

I wouldn’t “glue” anything regardless of what “glueing agent” you use, unless they’re very lightweight/ small pieces.
Marco cement works well for heavier duty applications but don’t expect any sort of weight/ mass to hold without anchors i.e: acrylic or pvc rod etc.

Hey there buddy,

As seen in the BRS video, you can use an epoxy/super glue combo to secure the rocks. It’s not gonna be strong enough that you can lift the structure out of the water, but your animals aren’t gonna knock it over either.

If you want to to hold when moving the rocks, you will need an anchor like clear rods/dowels or zip ties.

I believe BRS suggests the Tunze epoxy and of course you’ll want Cyanoacrylate glue. I like BSI brand.

Good luck!

It’ll give you a better bond. Seriously, watch the video from BRS - it’ll give you better info and “instructions.” I can post a link in a bit if you can’t find it.

It’s focused on mounting coral frags, but they briefly discuss using the same technique to secure live rock. They do cover the epoxys and glue you would want to use.

Don’t forget to share some pics when you get it sorted out!
