Deleted User 6 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I'd kill for $14.95. My LFS is going to want my left nut. LFS wants $30 each. Like I said. My left nut. Link to comment

AdriftQuasar Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Just so you know, your most recent FTS is now my wallpaper. I'm planning on upgrading my 20H to the 30 gallon M-Tank since 30 gallons is the most I can have in the dorm I move into next fall. So glad to be transferring to a decent school. Moving the tank four times a year makes me nervous, but I love my tank too much to be without it. I am really glad your tank has recovered from the crash so nicely. Anything you would do different if you went with the 30 gallon m-tank again? Link to comment
blizzardscout2 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey Masterbuilder, how do you glue your Montis in place. I have had a heck of a time getting mine to stay. What kind of glue do you use? Your tank looks spectacular by the way, the aquascaping is amazing! It reminds of me of the rock structures in Cozumel on the wall dives, very cool! Link to comment
1337TANKHAX Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Stunning pictures. Thanks Link to comment

What kind of glue do you use? Your tank looks spectacular by the way, the aquascaping is amazing! It reminds of me of the rock structures in Cozumel on the wall dives, very cool! Use loctite control gel. Only the control gel. It works like a charm on smaller pieces. Bigger pieces it works, but it doesn't stick as well. Link to comment
masterbuilder Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Anything you would do different if you went with the 30 gallon m-tank again? No…other than I would love LED’s. The KISS method is best for nano tanks What kind of glue do you use? I use epoxy putty/superglue (see StevieT’s how to glue thread) for everything. The only thing I do different is once the coral is in place, I take a toothpick and jab/scratch up the exposed putty to look like the surrounding rocks. In a week or so the putty looks just like live rock. You can still pry the corals off the rock if needed but nothing can dislodge it otherwise. I never had much luck using putty or super glue gel alone, but the combo of the two works every time.

blizzardscout2 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I can see already how well it would work. The hardest part is getting a good surface contact on uneven surfaces, the putty solves that problem giving the most surface area bond possible. Thanks man, this will make a tremendous difference.
