I have some new sps to attach. Will any 2 part epoxy work or do I need something special? I have some that says it is good for potable water. Thoughts?  ------------- 140 Gallon reef 90G. Sump |

I use AquaMend from Home Depot. Last I checked it was $2.99 and is in the paint department.

I use Aquamend also. Great stuff for 1/3-1/4 of LFS prices. ------------- http://zip-zero.com/wmas/imageUpload.php |

I agree with Mike on the aquamend. However IMO thick or gel super glue is much easier to use... Scott ------------- President Idaho Marine Aquarium Society A fair and biased reef hobbyist "How do you make poor people rich by making rich people poor" Rush Limbaugh on Obama taxes |

I've tried the superglue gel and it works great for me when the coral and rock are mostly dry. I just don't get good results using it under water. I've heard other people have similar problems with epoxy. I guess it is just what you get used to.
