Marineland holdfast

DKKA · 03/05/2006, 10:30 AM

My LFS changed brands of epoxy. They assured me that Marinelands Holdfast would also cure underwater and is safe for corals. But I don't see anywhere on the product itself that states this. Not sure I want to take their word on it.

Anyone use this and let it cure underwater? Any probs with sps while doing so?

thanks!

I used the MArineland epoxy to construct my wall in my 58 gallon reef. I also used Aquamedics epoxy. Both worked fine and cured fully in about 24 hours. A good cure in about 30 minutes.
I would highly recommend using zip ties if you plan of mating rocks. For coral I would recommend some of the quick drying glues that are available.
