Coral Putty

RenoR1 · 03/18/2011, 01:32 PM

Does anyone know if there is a product that acts as a more temporary putty-style adhesive for attaching plugs/frags in a tank? I do not want to permanently attach any of my sps frags until I have everything exactly where I want them and am happy with my aquascaping, but they do need something to hold them in place so my CUC doesn't keep knocking them over.

I've never considered the regular two part reef epoxy that temporary.

You could easily put a dime size piece of that on the bottom of a plug and still pop it free later.

Bump?

All of the epoxy Ive used in my reef tanks seems to come apart if I pull hard enough. I have to move things around as they grow and a quick tug usually breaks it up... I use the purple stuff from Boston Aqua Farms.

I use Aquamend. Cheap, good, and can be moved if need be.

All of the putties I've used will pop right off with a little pressure.
