Best aquascaping cement and why?

[bullet reef]

I am trying to decide what kind of cement or epoxy to use to build a rock wall for the back wall of my 240g. The product by Marco Rocks below was recommended by a highly regarded friend but it is out of stock and would be quite pricey for the amount I would be needing.

So I would like to hear everyone's opinion of what they think would be the best choice and why... please include any info or reasons for your choice such as it's ability at blending in well, price point, ease of use, etc.
Thanks for your input!

if you are trying to attach rock to glass the best thing to use is silicon. thats what Marco told me. but rock to rock their cement is awesome. why? because it works lol

Thorite cement is the same thing as hydrolic cement and I purchased mine at Ace Hardware and comes in many sized containers. It has a fast working time so if using either I would only mix small amounts that you can use in about 2-3 minutes and then mix more for another attachment. I don't know what there premix liquid is but I just used RODI water and it was fine for me.

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely be looking into that!
How did you know it was the same stuff?

the premix solution, is acryl60 mixed with water. acryl60 is a harder/curing agent. you can mix it with just water, but with the acryl60 you will get a much faster setting and stronger cement.
