Ronjunior Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 LFS and online places sell it for 10-15, but Lowes has an epoxy stick for $4 by Oatey in their plumbing section, but not sure if its the same stuff. States it's non-toxic and the price is right. Read their MSDS sheet. http://www.oatey.com/apps/catalog/showskus.asp?ctg=80&subctg=0&prodgrpid=93 http://www.oatey.com/usenglish_msds/fluxsolder/OTH120E5.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefgeek84 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I use the Red Hot PVC glue and it is "Gely" would this work? Since it is fine for plumbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAVES Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Im sure the regular two part epoxy is fine as long as its fully cured before going into the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Why not use plain old PVC glue? Are you wanting something to hold the pipes together? Or to hold the rock to the pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 If it is hidden, a wad of epoxy putty might work better; that way, you could shift rocks around to balance loads etc before they dry in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister crabs Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 hey reefgeek check out the acrylic rocklifts that flyguy is making over here in bend.....almost invisible in the tank and the way he cuts the lift supports they seem to grip the rock really well so great for stability.....he made siskou one and i took it to her over in eugene....I think someone on here is either coming over to pick up a tank from him or he may be delivering it to the portland area.....check his thread in classifieds......but the lifts are awesome and his prices are really fair as well.
