Boston Aqua Farms Epoxy

[Myka]

Ok, I'm bored. I should a water change or something productive like that, but I'm not. So...how about a review??

I have tried pretty much every 2-part epoxy on the market. I bought my first tube of Boston Aqua Farms Epoxy a couple months ago, and have used it all over the place. On frags, making my frag rack, etc. This stuff ROCKS. It is surely the stickiest epoxy out there. It doesn't seem to shrink as it dries either like some other [annoying] brands. I don't think I will be buying any other brand from now on.

Three cheers for Boston Aqua Farms epoxy!! Rah! Rah! Rah!

Ok, I'm done now.

I personally use the Tailored Aquatics epoxy and would over the Boston Aqua Farm any day. You get double the amount, it's about the same price and I found works just as good if not better! That and it's Canadian too

Really?? I almost tossed my tube of Tailored Aquatics epoxy! It shrunk like a man's anatomy in icewater. Drove me nuts.

Crazy, yah I have used a few different tubes (both colors too) and have had great results. To each their own I suppose for sure!

Do you speak from visual experience?

[Myka]

Oh yes!! It shrinks, and the sticks fall down.

Ooooooo, sticks falling down is not good at all. Causes further retracted polyp extension.....

I have used the Boston Farms epoxy for the last few years and I think it is the best. It is far cheaper than Crazy Glue. I also use the Boston Farms Epoxy Hardener. It fuses the frag immediately. I do not like the sprayer to apply the hardener, I use a pipelet.

Hi Myka,

Have you tried the DD Aquascape epoxy, if so, how does it compare to the Boston Farms epoxy? I have used the DD and have observed that most of the time the rocks or plugs come loose, so I'm hoping that there is something better

I have used the Boston Farms Reef Glue and find it to be very good.
Any online vendors selling the BF Epoxy, I checked out J&L but cannot find it; however, I did find a Tunze epoxy, has anyone tried it?

Thanks.

[Myka]

I have tried (in order of preference):

1. Boston Aqua Farms
2. Tunze
3. Bulk Reef Supply



The ones that don't even go on the preference list because they suck too much:

Tailored Aquatics
D-D Deltec.
