I made a reef plug with epoxy and extra CC sand. The epoxy was a brand called Alteco that I bought at a small shop near tp bus interchange. Name is 3-ton epoxy and ingredients are epoxy and polyamine resin.

I just mixed an amount of epoxy large enough to make the cc sand stick together, mixed it with sand and left it for 1/2 an hour and bingo! done

The epoxied sand was rinsed with water and put in a small test tank with a few mushrooms. They are still doing OK with it in the water after 12 hours.

The epoxy is only $2-3 and clear. I will post pics when I make more for fun.

Is it as reefsafe as those meant for underwater use?

Just to be sure... coz I am worried about longterm leaching.

Anyway... I think that's a brilliant idea!

I was hunting for plant pegs actually... made of plastic and cone-shaped... you can glue a frag to it.

Actually if they made the golf pegs a bit larger, it would excellent!

Hasn't leached anything into the small tank yet, 3days and still going strong. I moved 3 mushrooms on top to help them die faster if it was toxic.

Anyway the plug looks nice. Maybe can culture coralline on top and then sell?

I think that the plug can be made to accomodate a clam's base too, maybe ven a tubeworm( if I can shape it that way. Solidifies in 5min and cures in 1/2 hour.

Okay an update.

The epoxy is hopeless for glueing LR together because it's too drippy. And if you don't rinse it before putting in the tank it leaves a greasy film on the water. That can be removed with paper towels. But it's fine for the reef plug idea. Just rinse it.

      How do I Recover Scammed Cryptocurrency

      The alarming growth of cryptocurrency investment scams these days is truly distressing. I never believed I would become of the victims, but I was proven wrong. It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover, as the fraudulent company I invested in appeared legitimate. They even had a group chat where people shared testimonies of quick profits after investing. This gave me a false sense of security and made me believe I could easily earn without much effort and stress. After my first cryptocurrency investment; An account manager was assigned to handle my trades and notify me when it was time to withdraw. Initially, I invested smaller amounts $5,000 USD and successfully withdrew my profits. Feeling comfortable, I even voluntarily testified in the Telegram group. However, things took a turn when the manager advised me to increase my investment for a promotional offer. From that point, I faced difficulties with withdrawals after increasing my investment. The manager acted concerned, making it seem like he was not involved, and Advised me to go along with the fees I was asked to pay for me to regain access to withdrawals. I later discovered the truth after working with Century Web Recovery. They successfully recovered my entire crypto investment and my profits from these scammers after they’ve caused me a lot of damages mentally. If you need assistance, contacting Century Web Recovery on email or Website is the best decision to recovering back your funds. If you wish to reach them kindly Google Century Web Recovery then you can contact them.
