I used the emarco 400, easy to work with, once cured is solid. I just posted my aquascape on another thread. Used quite a bit on branch mixed with Pukani and Shelf.

Here's what I've made so far using the zip ties. Any suggestions on where to add the rest of the branching rock? Here's a few inspirational tanks with similar scapes...

I like thermo morph. Works well and is super strong.

But in my case I had a bunch of these Baggie ties around such as what you use at the grocery store lol. Here's my question would those be ok to use in a reef tank? Or basically are they aquarium safe?
No, they are not aquarium safe. Especially marine. I used JB water weld and let dry overnight. I have it connecting 3 rocks at six points and used a small piece of rubble to blend them texture wise. They next day I couldn't break it apart when I tested the structure with ~ 100 pounds of weight. I pushed and pulled and twisted on it and had my 9yo stomp on it. The only thing I wish I did was use extra epoxy and cover it with rubble, the shaded stuff didn't change color with the rest of the rock and epoxy.
