my new baby... AKA The Café

[Alfie]

1 colony on rock with others, and 1 on a grow out tile

I dont see any white dots

All skinny looking and pinched ,just that color, the other kinds are fine. hmmm could try dipping an entire rock i guess lol I did a fresh water per frank and team didnt really help

well worth a try if you think youre going to lose them anyway. I have done 9% hydrogen peroxide dips before especially if you think it may be a fungal issue. It works pretty well. I dont know if you have used it before, if not its about a 5 minute dip, you will see it fizz in the solution and is pretty effective against most things that can affect zoas

Cement. Portland. No silica sand.

There's a grey or white grout you can use I believe. Let me see if I can find it again.

The other option is crushed coral sand and super glue.

I’m really sorry brotha wish I could help.

I believe they sell a water proof putty, but it’s pretty strong and not sure if it can handle salt water

With all of these diy'ers, i am sure someone has an idea.

 

[Petcrazyson]

super glue.

A cyanoacrylate one like the Gorilla Glue Super Glue GEL works really well

Theres one of them.

 

[Alfie]

Glue and sugar fine sand. But dont shoot me, i hve never fixed rock together :/

Wanna go more on the mortar train tried putty tried super glue and sand but want to be able to build it out going with a heavy base rock with cavework floating acro shelf and mid shelf for torches.....have the shelf rock and will reuse branches but want to mold it together no more crashes this go round...

 

[tbrown]

Actually, probably not. What I'm thinking about would probably need to be soaked to leach the lime.

Marco, NYOS, and a couple of other options...

Dont forget, you can use a drill for acrylic rods to really hold with mortaring. Extra security.

It'll spike. All my stuff I make soaks in freshwater for a couple of weeks before the spikes stopped.

Is there a way to speed up the process?
