which is the method i am referring to.... the joints created by this bond will not break before the dry rock itself breaks. Mortar and putty definitely are not as strong
Thank you@F i s h y That scape is gorgeous!
no thats fair. I was thinking putty as in the tunze coral putty which can be used underwater, not something like jb weld. I think we were both thinking of different things.Sorry, I should have been more clear. I wasn't doubting the effectiveness of the glue method. I have used it myself with great success. I was specifically challenging the idea that putty is only good when it's wet, when in fact the opposite seems to be true. I would only use putty on fresh dry rock. For anything that's already wet I've had much better results with super glue.
I cannot shill this method enough, but I still see people using putty and mortar lolI use the TidalGardens method of superGlue and sand.
if the rock is under water and wet. I think coral putty is your best beti recently moved homes and the tank made the move. but i do have one structure that broke and i have been wanting to put it back together, but not sure how this will work with the rock underwater.
what would be the best/ safest method? superglue and sand? i'm kinda lost
When I started my 32G bioccube I just stacked the rock. I'm glad I did that because being brand new to the hobby my structure actually was not good for growing corals growing quarrels and there was a lot of wasted space. I was able to flip one of the arches upside downing allowing much more growing space.When building a new aquascape from dry rock you have several options for securing it together. Especially if you want to create unique structures. You may also use a combination of solutions to achieve the desired look you want for the aquascape of your dreams! Some items readily available are Super Glue, Aquascaping Mortar and Putty for the "adhesive" part. There may also be others that I am unaware of. Le's talk about today!
What is your preferred adhesive to creating unique aquascapes?
