Okay.. so I bought e-Marco 400 and long story short during shipment of 2 of the packages broke the pouch of the glue and I lost of it. I ended up getting another batch and all is good except now I have like 13lbs of cement and no bonding agent
I did some digging and found another reef website and people claim emarco 400 is just a combination of “Marco 400” mortar along with “acryl 60” which is a polymer that binds acrylic..
Anyways I did some more research and what I found seemed pretty similar that people mix acryl 60 at a ratio of 1 part to 3 parts water.. mix and then add to cement
which is the same instructions that e-Marco Lists!!
here’s what I found.. let me know if you think anything here is bad for the tank and if I can order the acryl and mix it with my mortar.

Marco Rocks Cement
Hey ARC, I'm getting back into the hobby, but this time I'm building out a thoroughly designed rockscape with dry rock. I'm using Marco Rocks to do it, but I feel like $40 for 5 lbs of the Marco Rocks cement seems pretty pricey for some mortar. Anyone have experience using something less expensiv...
