    Hey guys, I have a tube of IO reef epoxy. I am setting up a brand new tank so no fish inverts or anything not even water yet. My question is can you use too much of this epoxy where it would be dangerous? All rocks and epoxy will be completely dried and bonded before water is added and I do not have a skimmer but was unsure if too much would leach any chemicals into the water after things are completed.

    thanks, I figured it would be but wanted to double check. Even though companies state it is ok it is still a chemical

    Even a non reef epoxy would be reef safe once cured. Typically that is 24 hours.
