The Fauna Marin Coral Kit is a high-performance, two-part epoxy putty specifically designed for the secure mounting of coral frags and large colonies within reef aquariums. Unlike traditional green or purple epoxies, this specialized Black edition is formulated to blend seamlessly with the natural shadows and crevices of live rock, as well as the black backgrounds and overflow boxes of modern reef systems. Once cured, it provides a rock-hard bond that is resistant to high-flow environments and the activities of "bulldozing" invertebrates like sea urchins and large snails.
The Coral Kit is engineered to provide a stable foundation for coral growth while remaining unobtrusive to the overall aquascape.
Superior Adhesion: Designed to bond effectively to wet rock, glass, and coral skeletons, ensuring that your valuable frags remain exactly where you place them.
Low $pH$ Impact: Specially formulated to minimize the "scumming" effect on protein skimmers and prevents the sudden pH drops or oxygen depletion often associated with lower-quality aquarium putties.
Natural Shadow Color: The deep black color is ideal for hiding glue lines in deep rockwork or matching black frag racks and equipment.
Rapid Curing: Sets quickly even underwater, reaching its full structural strength within a short period to minimize the time corals spend being handled.
Encourages Encrustation: The texture of the cured putty provides an excellent substrate for corals like Montipora and Zoanthids to grow over and eventually hide the bond completely.
How do I use the Fauna Marin Coral Kit? Cut off equal parts of the two components and knead them together until the color is a uniform black. Once mixed, you have a few minutes to press the putty into place on the rock and secure your coral frag into the putty.
Will it make my protein skimmer overflow? While all two-part epoxies can affect surface tension, the Coral Kit is optimized to be "low-impact." It is still recommended to monitor your skimmer for 30 minutes after use and slightly reduce the air intake if necessary.
Is it safe to use underwater? Yes. The Coral Kit is specifically designed for underwater application. For the strongest bond, try to clear any loose algae or detritus from the rock surface before pressing the putty down.
Can I use it to build rock structures? Absolutely. It is an excellent choice for "locking" large pieces of live rock or dry rock together to create overhangs and arches that would otherwise be unstable.
Fauna Marin The Dip: Always dip your corals before mounting them to ensure you aren't permanently attaching pests to your main rockwork.
