Just when you thought the water was safe..(bad epoxy)

[L/B Block]

Is it still shark week? Anyway I think epoxy strikes again. This week I had two corals break off that had been previously attached using the “bad epoxy.”

Again overflowed the skimmer (now up 2.5 inches on a platform ) -albeit not as bad as last time-still released enough crap into the water column to take out a tang and a sand sifting goby- again. Same thing happened last time. In fact it was the same exact two species-the more expensive ones!

I would prob take off all the corals I used epoxy on and re-atttach if I could remember which ones were affected.

For now-the other fish roll on

Just super annoying.

What epoxy did you use? I’ve never heard of anything like this before

Sorry to hear! Could you just use regular super glue?

Please let us know what brand/type of epoxy so we can avoid it

At @JVU & @Coral reefer -I had def not encountered anything like that. I had used epoxy before without issue but one specific “stick” if you will caused innumerable issues. I need to track down the name brand but I bought it off I think Amazon and I wonder if it was…fake?


@Coral2Coral -i normally used superglue only but the urchins knocked my corals over like bowling pins! Been using Seatak now. Works very well but serious PIA to work with I find.
