    Good to know about the foam. I assume you found the Gorilla Glue to be safe also? I definitely do not think it is too crowded. If anything it may be a bit sparse. Do you have more live rock in your sump? I would be concerned about how much bio load your system can handle if thats all you have.

    Thanks! I do have rock in my sump but I only have 3 fish in there. I'm loading up on corals and with time should fill out nicely.
    Yup the glue is safe too. Good thing is there is tons of info out there on foam and epoxy. Plus people are willing to help and answer questions which is awesome.

    Awesome rock work! I'm interested in the same type of rockscape but sourcing good rock is an issue.
    Super that the gorilla epoxy is safe, might try to get some tomorrow and get down to work.
    Looking good again. Can't wait to see it covered in coraline

    Thanks. Same issue for me finding the rock. I got lucky and my LFS ordered it for me with no strings because they said they should have it anyway. Lucky again because they saved that big piece just for me. This tonga was $9.99 a lbs!! That big piece is 9.5 lbs. that's insane but LFS was having a 30% sale. Again I got super lucky with all that.

    Key to epoxy is cure time and smell. There are better ones you can buy online but I hate paying for shipping. Gorilla worked fine but here is the warning. Turn skimmer off :)
    You'll thank me later. Actually with all this work with epoxy, putty, and foam my skimmer still isn't working correctly.
