Mrrr another Monti fell

[palvyre]

So this morning I see another Monti on the bottom of my tank. Guess I will need to glue it again, but hate to do that. Think I killed the green one doing that. Not to mention the couple of days of my skimmer going crazy whenever I put coralline epoxy in the tank.

I don't know how you use your epoxy but rather than sticking the frag directly on top of the epoxy, I take the epoxy and rub it between my hands to make it long and stringy, and then I set the frag where I want it and mold the epoxy around frag and push the epoxy down against the rock, that way I'm not even pressing the frag and it tends to stay better.

That's a good idea. I found a place I could just set it without glue for now, but I'll keep that in mind as I set up my 180 and arrange my coral.

In that order push onto rock and twist. The epoxy fills in the uneveness for the glue to bond properly.

Yea epoxy sandwhich. Sometimes I also mold the epoxy to the rock then glue frag on it.

Your skimmer seems ultra sensitive to epoxy. I have used almost half a stick of the 2 little fishies stuff in one day and my skimmer never reacted.

From research, it's just the coralline colored epoxy that has issues. A brief google for it and you'll find numerous reports.
