What exactly do you mean by Ramp's???? Make coral go down? I have never heard this before.

 

[jasper24]

A lot of the Acan Frags that I have bought are "perched" up on a piece of the original skeleton and then glued to a frag disk. The new polyps that form have to grow down the side of the skeleton piece. Some folks recommend taking the epoxy and and wrapping it around the skeleton to give the new polyps being formed an easier transition and makes for a more natural looking colony when it grows out.

is it a 2 part epoxy? its considered reef safe ? does it come in a tube like silicone or a smaller "toothpaste"tube?

Im always up for saving money and 4 bucks sounds much better than 12.

Its a 2 part epoxy that ya knead up like the aquastick. I have been using it for 3 years so i guess its reef safe.
LOL It looks exactly like the aquastick, and i bet the aquastick is just renamed harveys plumbers epoxy.
I just use a whole tube of it yesterday, and all is well.
