Yo' Billy, it works in fish tanks too!!!!

It was the profile showing the green/white, and packaged in the same tube that tipped me off.

Four tubes for $20, not a bad deal. Cool thing really, I use this to nail the frags down after they get big and superglue won't cut it. There has been plenty of times I would need a tube and everyone would be out.

If you have noticed, Walgreens and Rite Aid stores have a little "As seen on TV" endcap, that would be another source if needed.

My neighbor bought some as he's one of those guys that watches late night infomercials constantly and likes to buy almost all of them... Well anyways the stuff actually works really well. I asked him for a stick of it for use in the aquarium but he said he was using all 6 sticks around the house.... Not really sure what he would need that much mighty putty for but whatever.

I buy mine at Home Depot for about $2.85 a stick if I remember correctly. Best used with a bit of super glue on each side (rock side , then frag side).

Hey Scott,

Can you post the brand and model of the stuff you use. I am going to need some soon.

Super glue? Is that the trick? I recently tried to use that epoxy but it doesn't bond well. I basically used it to create a mechanical attachment for the corals to rock.

You and me both, he's kind of an eccentric fellow.

Minh - It's called AquaMend by Polymeric Systens, Inc.

WarrenG - Yeah, you need a little dab of thick cyanoacrylate (aka Zap Gel, etc) to help bind the epoxy to a frag/rock. However, for binding pieces of live rock together cable ties might be stronger.
