What Glue Can I Use to Stick Stones/Slate together in a Fish Tank

[Tim Young]

I wish to stick some pieces of slate and stone together in a 10 gallon
aquarium with Orandas, Plecos and Golden Weather Loach. I realise that some
adhesives are harmful to fish (eg Araldite). Can anyone please recommend a
suitable glue?

Regards
Tim

Regular aquarium silicone cement and the epoxies sold for about the
same thing you are looking at doing. The epoxy is said to cure under
water, I haven't tried it myself.

Tim,

Are you sure you want to put stone in your 10 gallon? That stone will use up
good
water space. Especially as you are heavily overstocked!

slate is not ideal for GF... use some limestone. Ingrid

What if your ph is high to start with? Would that change which rocks you can
use?

if pH is high, limestone is inert. if pH is low, limestone releases buffer system.

What's wrong with slate, It's ph-stable and doesn't leach anything into the
tank as far as I know. Limestone on the other hand will raise the gH of the
tank quite a bit depending on kH and pH (use of CO2)

Have I missed something here???

it really isnt hard enough and it will leach over time. best is igneous rock, basalt
or granite, like smooth river rock. the exception is limestone which is beneficial
to the water chemistry. Ingrid

Oh, cool! The hill behind us is nothing but basalt. I was getting ready to
ask whether it was good! Thanks,
