    Hey guys, so I'm trying to rearrange my rockscape by making cool arches and caves and will be using epoxy putty for the first time. I bought this waterwield epoxy from home depot and wanted some of your advice on it. Will this hurt my reef in any way? Let me know, thank you.

    No it won't if you let it set for 24 hrs. It's what I use

    I use Mr. Sticky two part epoxy as opposed to the putty-type stuff. I've used both, but the putty usually comes loose.
