I got my order of 75lbs of dry Pukani live rock from Bulk Reef Supply today and as I began the aquascape planning, I realized that I needed some live rock mortar to accomplish the look I'm going for. So, any stores carry any of it locally or does anyone have any left over mix?

If not mortar, anyone seen any two part epoxy locally?

Sorry man I had half bucket but gave it away. Order some from marco rock; epoxy gets expensive and does not work as well as the cement.

BTW, hows your trip?

i was hoping to start the aquascape this weekend. any good alternatives at the hardware store?

the trip to london was awesome. walked for miles and miles, spent way too much money, but enjoyed every minute of it. the london sea life aquarium wasn't all that great but the natural history museum was badass.

The pukani is pretty awesome isn't it? My 70lb order came in as 80lbs and is way to much for my 90.

I picked up some quikrete hydraulic water stop from home depot. Its a polymer modified cement. After curing dry for a couple days its not supposed to shift ph. There's a thread on reefcentral where mr. Wilson talks about it. Haven't used it yet, I still have to finish my setup first.

i love the pukani. i ordered 75 and got 87 i think. i ended up stacking things just right so i won't need the mortar. i might use a little two part epoxy for a couple smaller pieces, but the overall structure is very solid.
