Best Reef Epoxy
 
Hey,
Im just asking around to see which epoxy for attaching frags/liverock in a reef aquarium.

I currently use the D&D brand epoxy, but it find it extremely pink in colour, is this just me or is that how it is?

thanks!!

It's really pink as far as I can see it. If it is just the color that throws you off it will get encrusted eventually.

you can use loctite epoxy from Rona - half the price and reef safe :)

yep thats the one - everyone on nano-reef uses it.

your skimmer will go nuts when you first put it in the tank so keep an eye on it.

So this is safe?, always use the glue, didn't even know they made a putty

yeah a bunch of people on nano reef and i think i have seen it on reefcentral use it without any issues. Like i mentioned earlier - it does mess up the skimmer for a bit but it'll settle after a couple days.

depends what your looking for.....DDs(comes in grey too, if the pink throws you off)(doesnt set my skimmer off) is actually sticky but cures slow.....the other brands (that have the two parts in one stick) aren't very sticky but cure really fast.....

Jb welds make an epoxy called water weld. Works like a charm for me!!
