Hi does anyone know where I can purchase fijicrete locally? Shipping costs 3x what the product costs. Also how strong is this product? Let's just say I'm planning to glue a tower about 20lbs with multiple pieces of rock. Can the fijicrete hold if I held the tower from the top? Can this be cured inside my live aquarium or does it have to be out of water?

How much do you need, in measurements of cups? I think I may have bought too much, but I won't know for sure until next week after I do a bit more rock work. If I have left overs I'd be happy to give it to you at cost, providing you could pick it up or meet at J&L.

Ounce mixed you have about 5 minutes working time sets in 10 minutes cures faster in saltwater then dry and takes about 2 hours.
Strength is 500lbs/square inch, I believe but will get exact numbers if really needed.

I love this product I use it to mount frags to scape everything one thing you need to know using it is wet the rocks first and it takes way longer to cure fully then it says on the package

Wow 500lbs/ square inch in pretty impressive. Will it harm tank habitants if cured inside tank?

Awesome video Eli. This pretty much answers all my questions. Looks like I'm never going to need to use those ****ty epoxy sticks anymore. One final question. Will this make my skimmer go nuts?

Eli:

Where can I get it in London?

It's totally fine to make a ball and use it to scape two rocks fully underwater? No issues curing?

:biggrin: honestly I never noticed my skimmer go crazy at all,but others could chime in if otherwise.
Next time I play with it I will get a better answer as I will be watching my skimmer's reaction.

We don't have any distributors or stores that carry it there yet but if you send me your shipping info I will check for you as we have no issues with.

No issues at all as a matter fact it cures faster in saltwater.
