Full details
Seachem Flourish Epoxy is an essential tool for aquascaping enthusiasts and planted tank hobbyists who need to secure heavy rockwork or driftwood in place. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable, long-lasting foundation that prevents aquascape collapses, though users should note the 5-minute working window requires careful planning before application.

FAQs
Is Seachem Flourish Epoxy safe for shrimp and snails?
Yes, it is non-toxic and safe for all aquarium inhabitants once applied and cured.
How long do I have to position the rocks before it sets?
You have approximately 5 minutes of working time before the epoxy begins to harden.
Can I use this to fix a crack in my glass aquarium?
No, this product is designed for hardscape materials like rock and wood, not for repairing structural glass.
Does the brown color show up underwater?
It is designed to blend in with natural rocks and driftwood, usually becoming less noticeable once covered by light algae or substrate.
Can I use it on wet rocks?
Yes, it works in both submerged and emerged conditions, though surfaces should be cleaned of loose debris for the best bond.
Troubleshooting
Epoxy is not sticking to the rocks.
Ensure the surfaces are clean, free of biofilm or algae, and dry enough to allow initial adhesion.
Epoxy remains tacky after 24 hours.
This is usually caused by insufficient kneading. Ensure the two parts are thoroughly mixed until the color is perfectly uniform.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High bond strength suitable for heavy hardscape materials
- Safe for use with delicate aquarium inhabitants
- Functions perfectly in both wet and dry conditions
- Easy to mix and apply for beginners and pros
- Matches natural decor with a brown finish
Cons
- Limited 5-minute working window may be difficult for complex projects

- Not intended for non-porous surfaces like polished glass
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the epoxy effectively, follow these steps:
- Cut the required amount of putty from the stick.
- Remove the plastic film from the cut portion.
- Knead the two parts together vigorously until the color is completely uniform without streaks.
- Apply to clean, debris-free contact points of your hardscape.
- Press materials together firmly and hold until the putty begins to set.
Keep the unused portion sealed in its original packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent premature curing. While it is safe for aquarium life, ensure you do not exceed recommended usage amounts if working in a very small volume of water to avoid cloudiness.
