    The sand is cleaned and ready. I also cleaned some old rocks I had set aside.

    I used some on a Pico rockscape. I was bonding dry rock and found it worked better if you made the mixture a bit wetter than they suggest. Alternatively you could try moistening the rock.

    I supported it while it set. Very strong bond - much better than the results I have had with the 2 part epoxy sticks.

    Good luck with the project!

    Thats very good input, I was looking for that. I will follow as you said, I was planning on supporting it as it healed. Can you tell me how much time did it take to cure before you put it in water?

    I left it overnight but I think you could do it sooner. It seems to set within a few hours.

    The new lights are up now. Thanks to all the inputs received I was able to do it nicely in the first attempt. Chuck your tip on using a plump worked great.

    After 4 hrs of effort, this is the outcome of the rockwork., I hope you all like it. I am pleased with it so far.

    With water and fish. The display is now connected to the main system. Few nem and corals in the system but the direction will change once the display matures a little bit
