Product Information
Full details
The D-D Aquascape Construction Epoxy is a specialized two-part adhesive designed for reef aquarium enthusiasts and aquascapers who need a reliable way to bond rockwork and coral fragments securely. Its primary benefit is the ability to create complex, stable aquascape structures that withstand water flow and movement, all while curing to a natural pink hue that blends with coralline algae. A key caveat is that the product must be mixed thoroughly to reach the correct consistency, which requires a firm kneading process before application.

FAQs
Is this epoxy safe for all corals?
Yes, it is designed specifically for reef aquariums and is safe for corals.
How long does it take to cure?
Curing time varies depending on the specific water temperature of the tank, but it typically sets within a few hours.
Does it affect water chemistry?
When used according to instructions, it is inert and should not significantly impact your water parameters.
Can I use it to fix glass tanks?
No, this product is intended for rock and coral bonding, not as a structural adhesive for aquarium glass.
How do I know when it is mixed enough?
The epoxy is ready when you no longer see streaks of the two different components and the material feels warm.
Troubleshooting
Epoxy is not hardening after several hours.
Ensure the two parts were mixed in a strict 1:1 ratio and that the color is completely uniform.
Epoxy does not stick to the rock surface.
Clean the rock surface of algae, detritus, or loose sand before applying the epoxy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, take equal amounts of part A and part B. Knead the two parts together using your fingers until the color is entirely uniform throughout the mass. You will know the epoxy is ready for application when the material begins to feel slightly warm to the touch. Ensure the rock surfaces are free of loose debris or heavy algae growth at the bonding point for maximum adhesion. After installation, wash your hands thoroughly. Store unused epoxy in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the adhesive components.
