I'm trying to get a cement to make my reef rock stay together in my new tank that i would be hopeful doing this weekend dose any one know of something i can use thanks

 

[Chefjpaul]

I used jb water weld & superglue. Held together with zip ties and let cure for a few weeks.

I need something that would work quickly

 

[Chefjpaul]

It does, i just didn't have my tank in yet.
24-48 is norm.

Most reefers use cable ties or acrylic rods and underwater epoxy..like this:

You do not want to use a true 'cement' as it contains lime and it would have to cure for months (in a vat of water with constant water changes) before it could be used in a reef tank.

I didn't realize your rocks were wet.

My bad.
I did take 3 months to build mine and drilled with rods, using only enough to hold in place. I have majority with zip ties.

I used the TLF product mentioned, (from petco), worked great!

Hydraulic cement from marco rocks.

Ha, this one I know! Hubby uses that hydraulic cement too. I am sure about that because we were shopping together when he picked that up and I remember my absolutely intriguing question: what the hell do we need cement for. So yes, hydraulic cement should work! God, so proud of myself now...

+ 1. Marcorocks.Com sells emarco-400 that dries and bonds in minutes and it's reefsafe...I use it all the time
