plumbers putty?

[dfreeman64]

Still having trouble with my aquascaping. Holdfast is not working, someone suggested plumbers putty??? Anyone use it and is it safe to put into existing reef tank. Any other suggestions as to how to hold pieses together without a tank break-down to rebuild?

Damn there is a plumber’s putty you can use. I remember trying to buy it but my local plumbing supply store did not have I. Will see if I can find where I read about it I think it gives a brand name

Zip ties,acrylic rods ,1/2" PVC.....all these are options too.You will have to pull out the pieces and do it outside the tank but if you keep it wet all should be well.

I've used Aqua Stick Putty with pretty good results...
Unless I am trying to do something really special with rockwork, I personally don't bother with epoxy putty or any holdfast materials.
