[Reefahholic]

Are you about to create an Aquascape and wanna save $6-7 on each bottle of Insta-Set? Yes, you’ll likely need a lot. Well, you may be interested in making your own. Here’s two formulas below. Please post up if you try one of these and let us know how it worked out or which one worked better for you. Cheers!

I’ve seen two formulas.

1st Formula:

1 Tsp of Baking Soda mixed with 1/4 cup RODI water.

2nd Formula:

1/2 Tsp of Baking Soda mixed with 1/4 cup RODI water.

Is this for real? Does it actually work as well or fast as the product?

is it safe to get super glue accelerator on corals? Will it spike their ph and damage them?

It actually makes the bond weaker. The real instaset is no contest. Sets so much stronger an cleaner.
Might try this citric acid chlorine spray but not trying to breath chlorine for hours while making rocks. The instaset is for sale in bulk online for $20 an that will last you many rock scapes.
