Morning to all and Happy Holidays!
I don't know how many of you have heard about or tried this new product from Fauna Marin called Aqua Scapefix or if anyone has posted a review previously but either way I wanted to offer my input. I first read about it on another forum and saw a video of it being demo'd at RAP NY, I think and then BRS offered it at a sale price on one of their specials so I picked it up to give it a try. I'm glad I did!!
This product rocks! It isn't a glue and it isn't an epoxy, it's more like a moldable wax. It comes in the bottle as small white pellets but when activated with hot water the product becomes a clear moldable almost like playdoh but it's waxy feeling. The first time I used it I thought it was bogus but it was because hot tap water and it wasn't hot enough to melt the pellets. So I put a half a mug of rodi water in the microwave for a minute and tried it and the product works as advertised. It's so much cleaner then glue and the best part is zero waste. Whatever you don't use after activating the product you just roll it in a ball and let cool put back in the bottle and it'll reactivate once it's returned to hot water. Once you apply to plug and press coral to it you place in tank and the product shrinks (not expands like glue!) and turns white. Another plus is that unlike epoxy which makes the skimmer go nuts this product did not. No excessive bubbles whatsoever. Only thing I can't comment on is it's long lasting hold but if it performs as advertised which it has to a tee so far I expect it's hold to also be great. This product can be used to attach frags to plugs, plugs to rockwork, coral to rockwork and rock to rock.
In conclusion, I'm very pleased I bought this and don't see myself buying anything else again and the bonus of zero waste makes this the go to for me. If you have it or tried it please comment on this thread good or bad.
