Description
The article discusses the use of Aquascape Construction Epoxy in marine and freshwater aquariums. Aquascape is a two-part epoxy putty that has been specifically developed by D-D for use in saltwater and freshwater aquariums. It is ideal for bonding together live rock to form complicated structures and avoiding rock falls caused by turbo snails, sea urchins and strong current flow. It can also be used to repair leaky pipework, broken equipment or for bonding items to the aquarium glass. The purple version of Aquascape has been formulated to dry underwater to the colour of coralline algae, making it initially more natural within a marine aquarium during the period before being encrusted with true coralline algae. However, when cured out of the water the colour will be darker representing the deep red coralline algae colour. For freshwater aquariums and for repairing liners and preformed ponds, the Rock Grey version is perhaps more suitable. Both colours can be used in any environment. Take care not to overmanipulate underwater, if the aquarium water starts to become cloudy stop using immediately and allow the water to clear.
Aquascape Construction Epoxy
Aquascape is a two-part epoxy putty that has been specially developed by D-D for use in saltwater and freshwater aquariums and other underwater applications.
In the marine aquarium, it is ideal for bonding together live rock to form complicated structures and avoiding rock falls caused by turbo snails, sea urchins and strong current flow, for preparing coral frags and for creating clam bases to prevent them from being attacked and ultimately killed by bristle worms. In addition, it can be used to repair leaky pipework, broken equipment or for bonding items to the aquarium glass.
Aquascape has been developed to be stickier than most epoxies so that it bonds easier to wet substrates and the purple version has been formulated to dry underwater to the colour of coralline algae. This makes it initially more natural within a marine aquarium during the period before being encrusted with true coralline algae. Note however that when cured out of the water the colour will be darker representing the deep red coralline algae colour.
For freshwater aquariums and for repairing liners and preformed ponds, the Rock Grey version is perhaps more suitable however both colours can be used in any environment.
Take care not to overmanipulate underwater, if the aquarium water starts to become cloudy stop using it immediately and allow the water to clear.
Suggested Uses:
