convit cave
« on: August 04, 2005, 02:39:32 PM »
I am not sure if anyone can help me or not. I want to build a cave for my fish out of rocks I collected. Does any one know if I can use power poxy to hold the rocks together? I know it will hold them together,but will it hurt my fish?

I wouldn't use it. Use aquarium safe silicone (silicone without additives like anti-mould retardants) to join them together. Be sure it's fully cured also before using it.

Use Silicone as Fnesr, A few dabs about 1 cm apart and leave it to cure for 24 hours before you put it in the tank and away you go O0

If you need to make sure rocks are safe you test them with vinegar to see if it fizzes,,if it does then its unsafe.

I think after nearly 2 months hlslady will have her rocks in.

Some post do go on, but when it is a question and the last answer is when the person is happy they know what to do, then it is safe to presume it is closed.

 It is left for anyone who has the same question to look back and find the answer.

Hope that explains it better  O0
