Aquamend Question/Issues??

mg426 · 12/17/2008, 11:50 AM

Has anyone ever had any issues using aquamend epoxy? I have used this product many, many times in the past. I recently bought a new tube at Home Depot. I mounted a pretty nice Scroll coral about a week ago. My skimmer has shut down for 1 week. (no foam) I did have to use a quarter sized amount to mount the coral in the area that I wanted. In the past when using Aquamend I would see mabe 12 hrs of no foam but this was wierd. Anyway four ten gallon water changes now has the skimmer beginning to foam again. This was very odd to say the least. Was just wondering if anyone else has had this situation happen to them?? Thanks

I knew someone that used one of the plumbers putty from Home Depot, used the entire tube one day to mount frags. The next day all his SPS and LPS died but atleast the fish survived.

He called up the company and they said there is 1 in 1 million chance that the product was bad. Who knows.

Nothing has been killed or even looks unhappy, Its just that my skimmer shut down. I have also used aquamend forever. Kind of hard to figure??
