Rock glue

jimmock42 · 03/02/2007, 11:23 AM

I wanted to add a base rock wall in the back of the tank, and I wanted to know what the best type of glue to use is. And also where I can can pick it up at.

Thanks

You want use an epoxy for the rocks. You can buy it at Home Depot or Lowes. You can find it over in the glue section. You want to use the one that is for hot tubs. It is made by Loctite.

I'll try that thanks for the response

Agreed, epoxy. Not sure if it all is reef safe or not though. Loctite brand is from what I hear though. Best way next to drilling holes through all the rocks and mounting them on PVC or similar.

So Loctite is reefsafe, does anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

I use it in my reef tank and FOWLR tank. You want to get the one that is for the hot tup/pool repair.
