So I've put together the hardscape and for my sons new tank, and I am currently cycling the tank.
Unfortunately I made a school boy error (its been 16 years since I set a tank up), and forgot to pre-soak the bog wood. Of course, once the tank started to fill, the wood started to float.
I have it weighted down with a spare rock currently, so it's staying in the chosen position, and I'm hopeful it'll become water logged within the next couple of weeks, as the branches are only 30mm or less in thickness - though it is incredibly hard stuff as I found out when I cut some of it down to size.
We will be draining the tank to add the plants during the Christmas holidays (the plants are a present for my son), so I want to take that opportunity to add some adhesive between the wood and the rocks that the various pieces sit on, which should permanently hold them down
So I could do with some recommendations for an adhesive that works on wet surfaces, cures within a couple of hours, and poses no threat to shrimp that will be added a few days after planting.
I've looked at the Oase Foamfix that a number of aquascapers use, but I can't find how long the curing takes, not if it is definitely shrimp safe?
Has anyone had any direct experience with the Oase Foamfix, or can anyone suggest any alternatives?
