Love the aquascape!Mine
ThanksLove the aquascape!
@Richard Schmidt Do you know if this can be used while rocks are in water?For those of you out there that are building scapes with dry rock I would try "FUZE*IT", it is a hybrid Liquid Nails.
Friend of mine works for NASA and is into reefing.
He told me this stuff is a commercially available version of the stuff that the reentry tiles on the space shuttle were attached with.
Keep in mind he is a friend that would tell me that just so I would say this on some post.
He is a Reef to Reef member, and I'm sure he would love to see me say that when it is not true just for the fun of it.
I don't care if it held the tiles on or not, it sure holds rock together.
I built my dry scape with this and could not be happier with it's grip.
Day one I put small amount on where I knew the rocks were in contact with each other. Once those points set (about 24 hours) I filled in gaps with a liberal amount. I let it dry for another 24 hours and it held "Like a Rock" .
Did a test try on two small pieces. after 24 they held, then filled the gap with a bunch of the stuff. I mean a bunch like 2X what it required. After 24 hours I took the pieces apart (with great effort) and about 1/4 of the big glob was still wet but cured part was really like a rock.
I need more live rock in my tank and the tube said it sets faster with a wet surface.
Going to go to my LFS, buy some live rock and build a structure and see how it goes. I will wrap the structure with salt water wetted news paper (just like live rock is shipped in when buying online) while the stuff dry's.
I'll let you know how that goes. If the stuff kills the live rock I'll let you know.
So far my new tank setup chemistry is fine (it's been running for about 6 weeks) with only one piece of live rock to seed the tank.
I have two softies and two fish in the tank and they are quite happy.
The stuff is gray but I figure coralline algae will cover that.
Just thought you dry rock builders should know about this option.

give yourself more credit. that looks great!Well I know I suck at aquascaping I also suck at taking pictures. I am building this for my 93 gallon cube.
