Epoxy good/bad?

[Lyscer]

As my corals get bigger they catch more current and it is really starting to disturb my rock so I'm thinking about getting some marine epoxy and epoxying the bigger pieces that hold the structure up, together. What experiences have you had with epoxy good/bad? Would you suggest it or a certain brand? Thanks in advance.

I've used epoxy many times to make nice secure mountings to the rockwork. The one I've used with good results is Aquamend, which I get at Home Depot...most likely other places carry it too. I often use a dab or two of Krazy Glue Gel beteen the epoxy and the surface that it will connect to for a stronger bond.

Thanks. Anyone else?

aquamend from HD, works really good.

I am on the aquamend bandwagon as well. I get my crazy glue gel at the dollar store in 2 packs

It is an underwater epoxy that is very sticky. This makes it a bit harder to work with but it makes a stronger bond that can actually be a bit hard to break apart, unlike standard underwater epoxy that is very brittle.

I do the same exact thing. It works great.

Aquamend and superglue.
