blizzardscout2 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I’m curious about how that works for you. I have heard good things Quote Link to comment

Same here. I quickly got tired of repeated trips to the microwave to warm up the next batch or to reward the current batch. But it holds well and is easier than superglue or mortar in medium-sized cases. 2 Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hopefully it can rely upon hot water as we don't have a microwave.... I do have hot plates and a toaster oven... Quote Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I always boil water so you should be fine Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yep, that works fine. The main problem I had with it is that it's only workable and sticky for a minute or two after you take it out of the water. So I was constantly heating up new little batches. I think if you can keep the water hot and just take out little bits of it as you work, it would be easier. Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I just refreshed the hot water and used a hot dental tool to shape it around the rock i needed to stick to. I would not use it to attach frags to plugs, but likely larger structures. larger the wad, the longer the working time. Oh and this, my clown hosts the trumpet coral. she wiggled herself a cave. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 I really think I need to do a prune back. Problem is, the trumpet, (which needs the pruning) is favoured by the clowns - it really is getting TOO large for my tank so, what do you suggest? Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Knockout is pissed at me because I took her trumpet out and fragged it. of course its not in exactly the same location as before. I needed to take bits off because it was just getting too large. Piece of that trumpet was added to the MDP, the other bits I will likely see if I can trade in for something soft and squishy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I love that your clownfish host your trumpet coral, how cool @Sunstar! All settled back in after the fragging it looks like. Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yeah she made herself quite the clown cave. Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Looking great and good to see the tank cleared up. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Things might be a little out of hand - the tank is three this year. 3 Quote Link to comment
Sunstar Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 I traded in my leather coral, kept a tiny frag moved the gorg to the back, trimmed back the trumpet a little. The colours are a bit off. I tried to reduce the blue with a orange overlay in photoshop. I got a Scionix Salinity tester today. Oh and Happy Birthday to me :3 2 Quote Link to comment

Looking good! it's gorgeous, but I want to get rid of it really, it takes up so much space. Buy my clowns host it... - so I just frag it every so often. I grew it from a single head. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I have had it for about 4 years now. It, the blasto (for sure) are corals I had before I went to the 10 gallon. It has been with me since I restarted the tank - I'll try to find the original pic. Okay I got thes ecorals back between March and April 2015 - who are still with me today. Green rock flower anemone (now has about a 5 inch disk) Hammer coral (1 head) Blastomussa (1head) Trumpet (1 head) 1 cluster of zoas no idea what they were colled (for sure) 2 Quote Link to comment
