I need 2 different types of adhesives.

I need a silicone based one so I can do an AquaClear refugium mod. And I need another adhesive to attach my rockwork and corals to rock.

The AC mode thread just mentioned something called Marine 'Gloop'. Nothing came up :)

Thanks guys.

Do you know if Home Depot sells the same thing under a different name? I kind of need it today :/

Their site lists these places as retailers, but I don't know if they all carry the marine version:

Ace Hardware
Albertsons
Fred Meyer
Hobby Lobby
Kmart
Lowes
Michaels Crafts
Menards
Homedepot.ca (that is the Canadian website)
Target
True Value
Walmart

I would call around to any of the stores near you.

I do know that the Home Depot near me sells "DAP Aquarium 100% Silicone" and you should be able to use just about any water safe epoxy to hold your rocks together, also cyanoacrylate super glues will work to join your corals to frag plugs or rocks.

for attaching rockwork, I like a combo of superglue and epoxy. I use PC Plumbing epoxy, you can find it at HD. It's gray and starts hardening in just a couple minutes.
