Aquamend is back at HOME DEPOT

[Fdfiremedic]

For all those fraggers that care. I saw Home Depot is starting to stock Aquamend again. The price is about a buck higher than before but no more shipping it in. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Strongsville Home Depot has it also

Sorry but what exactly is this? Some type of super glue, or putty?

Thanks for the heads up Ben.

For those wondering... it is a reef safe epoxy putty.

Harvey's putty in the plumbing section is stickier and cheaper............much better deal. It also works well with super glue & aquamend doesn't.

I use the Harvey's as well...Have for years and no side effects other then the skimmer going nuts for a few hours afterwards.

I was looking for some epoxy. I didn't want to have order such a small item online, pay shipping and wait. Thanks guys.

I have tried lots of substitutes since Aquamend had been removed from their shelves. I tried the JB fiberglass weld product, the other green putties and the Harvey's putty they all seem to crumble once they get wet and I can't mold them into the rock crevices the way Aquamend will. I literally have tried 6-8 other sticks of potable water safe putty and they all seem to have the one undesirable attribute.

I usually only get the crazy skimmer if I happen to break or crumble the putty inside the tank... If it goes on first shot, then I don't notice any ill skimmer side effects.

Although... I gave up on the putty, and now use only superglue gel for most everything. Although if I were to wedge some rocks together, I would need to reconsider... but for most of my fragging/affixing coral purposes, superglue gel has sufficed.
