Help! epoxy question
 

Way to leave it to the last minute Keri :redface:

So I have some 2 partt tunze epoxy I'd like to use on some corals I got today but how safe is it to let it harden in the tank rather than a separate container ?

it should be fine, its designed to cure in the tank. if you're worried about it, just swish it in some other water after you've mixed it up then mount your frag with it in the tank. :biggrin:

That's what I ended up doing :) Thanks!!


as a side note....wow do I ever suck at sculpting that stuff! It's not pretty, but they are attached! Now I wait for the corraline to cover my secret shame!!

I use the stuff that is allready colored like coraline :razz:

I use the aquascape purple epoxy as well

I'll buy that next time....this stuff is clay coloured, I'm not a big fan.

Hey, that's not to terrible, looks ok

It's a lot harder with the recommended gloves on, I ended up giving up on those (as you can tell by the fingerprints lol)


I should go downstairs and see if any of them let go....

edit: Nope!!

Ah its only ugly at first, eventually you won't notice it. Corals seem to cover over it pretty quickly too, which is nice :biggrin:

My mom stopped by today, and saw the tank for the first time (well, she thinks it's still my old 65g, doesn't realize it's bigger now, but we won't get into that) and the thing she thought was the coolest?
The damn mag float
Thousands of $ put into that tank and she picks the $20 cleaning mag. She's funny.
