[Coral-List] Best Non-Toxic Marine Epoxy?

[Massimo Ponti]

Hi all, I used same epoxy (Subcoat S. Veneziani) for trasplanting 
gorgonian in the Mediterranean Sea. This epoxy created very turbid 
water and it may be toxic if used in aquaria without high water 
renewal, while in the open sea the dilution prevent risks. For small 
application in aquaria I would suggest Milliput.

Best regards
Massimo
