Paul & Lana Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Hi list, I'm building a big volcano to house an aerator in the middle of our 90g tank.got the lava rock...now what can i use to hold it all together.. we triedc this before, with aquarium sealant...but the stuff took forever to dry enough to hold rocks in place...is there anything else fish safe that will dry quickly or at least have a high initial tack... all the rock goes around a pvc pipe pieve that houses the aerator....any alternate ideas for attaching the rock are much appreciated as well..... Thanks Paul & Lana Edited April 13, 2007 by Paul & Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Epoxy putty for attaching coral frags to live rock, etc....it is a bit more expensive than silicone, but it really works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I've heard of reefers using Crazy Glue to glue frags to rock, while in the tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishBrain Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Correct neither will hurt the fish. I have used crazy glue many times. IF you use the crazy glue make sure to use the GEL type. Liquid will not work very well. I keep mine in the fridge to keep it as solid as possible and it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosshog Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Best place to find an assortment of crazy glue is local radio control hobby shops. It's called CA and you can get a variety of viscosities and large volumes. I find it most economical. One of my other addictions is R/C planes.
