    Help Identifying Spots (Algae?) On Epoxy

    Has anyone seen spots like this on epoxy before? Not sure if it's algae, a pest, some sort of process with the epoxy, or if the crab or snails have been picking at it? The tank has been up and running since the beginning of January. I added the epoxy about 2 weeks ago right before I added a...

    Reef safe clear epoxy coating resin.

    Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows of a reef safe clear epoxy. It can even be a clear casting epoxy. Like the stuff used to make crafts and such. NOT epoxy glue to hold corals or rocks together Thanks!

    To use the flag plug in the reef or not?

    Hi Experts, the frag plugs are good in placing/holding the frags in place on the rocks in the tank but in many cases it doesn't enhance the beauty of corals growing naturally on those rocks (this is my personal view only). Is it a good or bad practice to always remove the frag from the plug and...

    Epoxy resin

    Is epoxy resin safe in our aquariums? Is there a certain brand or type that is safe? I see a lot of cool resin projects done. It would be interesting to know if we could use this inside of our aquariums safely.

    Using Epoxy as a Shelf?

    Hello folks, On my way back from lunch I was wondering... What if I could use a large amount of epoxy to create some type of "shelf plateau" for coral placement? I never heard of anyone doing that, and maybe there are people out there doing it. I just wonder if you have any input on this, if...
