I'm just playing around adding a 15g mangrove tank to my frag tank. I had the tank lying around and while I was at walmart buying paint stuff for the house I saw the great stuff bottle and added it to my cart.
I'm going to do a foam wall in the tank since I don't think there will be any actual rocks in the tank. I just need to know what type of resign i should use that is safe. I will be covering the resign with sand.
thanks

West systems and MAS are a couple that a lot of people seem to use.

I used gorilla glue to cover mine and packed it over with aragonite sand and crushed coral. Its 6 months old and covered in coralline and the corals are doing fine. Cured it for 2 weeks in saltwater changed out every 4 days. Never had a problem and extremely happy with the results. All the hype about using gorilla glue~ BLAHHHHAHAHAHAHA yea right.

I used leftover mas epoxy from pouring the inside of my plywood tank.
