PC-Marine - Safe Epoxy?

[water junky]

Hope I'm in the right spot for this question... Has anyone used this brand of epoxy? I'd like to save myself the hour drive to the fish store to get more of what I've been using. I have a 90 gal w/ mostly sps. Any experience with this would be appreciated!

I think this stuff like the so called Mighty Putty and that I have heard is "reef safe"
Don't take my word though....

I might have to take a drive.

AquaMend and WaterWeld are two reef safe epoxies available from home despot if that shortens your drive.

 

[water junky]

Nope, same drive! Lowes is only 30min. I might have to try Lowes, it's on the way to work at least.

 

[water junky]

Bummer, they don't have it at lowes.

Just buy plumbers epoxy putty it is like 4 dollars for 4 oz of it instead of like 20 dollars it's is also fish and coral safe and can be applied under water. I use it all the time and it works great.

After doing some searching I found that some people had used it and said it made the skimmers go crazy for an hour or two. I decided to use it and had no issues - sps are fine, skimmer did not go crazy... I didn't use a lot, maybe 3/8" of the stick. I'll let you know if anything goes haywire in future uses.

I not sure about the "Marine" but I've been using the PC brand "Plumbing" putty for at least a year without issue. Whenever I look for epoxy I check that it states "potable water safe" FWIW

Thanks for the link. I have flat rock of zoes that were refusing to stick to the overflow so I had given up trying, but now I'm going to try the glue sandwich.

I have had luck with glueing epoxy to the overflow and then once set glue the zoas to the epoxy. Hope this helps

So I've been through a stick of pc marine and no problems. I didn't have the over zealous skimmer problem ether. It's been 1 1/2 months since I've used any and i did not notice any ill effects on anything. I did not use more than an inch of the stick at a time.

We use PC marine putty for a long time and folks here in DXB swear by it.
It comes in white and grey color.
