I know this has been done before, but I just had to share.... I plan to add many more chalice and montis to my overflow and make use of an otherwise eyesore :bigsmile:

How do you get the epoxy to stick to the wall?

I put superglue on it before I stuck it there. I made sure the epoxy was holding well before I placed the coral.... then I put some superglue on the epoxy before I placed the coral.

This a crude attempt to diagram how I formed the epoxy before I attached it to the overflow.

Well that stinks... it left out all the spaces I had between the Semi colon and the backslash... I should have taken progress pics... but I dont want to touch my camera with epoxy on my fingers
