Just checking to see what everyone uses to glue their aquaecapes together? There is this jurassic gel on bulk reef supplies but seems pricey. Just curious as going to start a new tank build for the office.

I built mine using hydraulic cement (E-Marco 400), some 1/2" acrylic rods, and BSI IC Gel.

I use cheap thin superglue and either baking soda or rock dust. I just sprinkle the powder in the joint and then drop superglue on it until the powder is wet. I believe it’s the same method recommended by tidal gardens. It works great.

ETA- here is the last aquascape I made with this method
