I've used regular JB weld many times:

I haven't met an epoxy that isn't reef safe.

I use JB water weld for mounting frags to the rock work all the time without issue.

But it's smells so toxic

 

[chefjpaul]

I built my whole scape of dry rock with it. No issues.
Strong!

But it's smells so toxic

But so does my skimmate! Take some rotten eggs, a skunk and road kill that's a week old, and put it in a blender.....that's the smell of my skimmate.

Don't judge an epoxy by it's stench!

One more thing to learn!!! Just checked the name brand and they do sale on most stores including lowes, walmart, ect... also sent an email to my personal email so don't have to worry about forgetting it

DOES IT WORK UNDER WATER OR JUST ON DRY ROCK...WOULD LOVE SOMETHING CLEAR TO ATTACH FRAGS INSTEAD OF THAT UGLY HOLDFAST.

Yes it will cure underwater.....mix outside your tank and then submerge. However, realize JB Weld is fairly liquidy and will flow. If you want something more putty like, use either Oatey Fix-it-Stick or Rectoseal Epoxy Putty. The Oatey is the better deal and both available at HD.

I've used the water weld without any problems for about a year or so.
