What type of reef-safe glue can I use to build an egg-crate media basket for my 14g AIO? Can't find anything commercial that seems to fit, so I figure what the heck, I'll do it myself.
 
Superglue...
...also works great on small cuts:D.
 
Yah, but it burns like the devil when you use it to close a cut (seemed like a good idea at the time)!!!!
 
BTT, I use crazy glue and zip-ties worked out great!
 
Actually, zip ties make more sense so you can alter the size of the compartments......duh. :confused: Thanx folks!
 
Addendum: After wrestling the eggcrate around my garage while trying to cut it with a hacksaw blade I discovered that the easiest way to cut it is with side cutters (wire snips). It reduces the sawn particles and is much easier and safer and leaves a much cleaner cut. No saw blade cuts on my hand either!
