Incredible pieces. That mille is insane!
I know snakes eat frogs so i'm thinking i might need to chuck a 6ft sea snake in the display for a while to clean up the frogs. Just need to convince Kevin to go catch me one.........
The key to success is my double black coffee dip that the frags all go through Marty :beer:
The piece was stuck on the back of the last island i made so i never got to see it unless i went around to the wiring bramble bush side of the display. I used my trusty chisel to pry it loose.
Snipped a lot of the old putty off with the rusty bonsai branch cutters.
Used the dremel to make a concave base on the frag as it was going on a curved surface rock face, also sliced cuts in the base for the glue to grab better.
1/3 black 5 min putty and 2/3 white slow cure putty gives me a fast curing pale grey putty once mixed.
Putty is mixed and ready to go so i squirted super glue gel on the base before placing the putty blob on it.
Put the putty onto the glue covered base and then put more super glue gel on the bottom of the putty ready to stick it onto the rock.
Used one of my pipe props to rest the acro on while the glue and putty set rock hard. It's fine to remove after 5 mins as the acro is well and truly locked into place by then.
Thanks Biggles very interesting report :wavehand:, is it tunze's bicomponent glue the green- white one?

Arrggghh. I ordered 5 years worth of the wrong stuff! :headwally:
Phos-zorb and phosguard look very similar. Both have Aluminum Oxide. I would guess these are very similar products.

Haha, they are the equivalent of oreos in oz. Dip it in your coffee and suck the chocolate out of the center.

Sahin, Andrew has been very quiet. I suspect some major sneakiness going on. He either has been in talks with Dave, from Deer Park Aquarium. Or The Easter Acroroo stopped by his house.
