    Napa, Oreilly's, autozone which ever, i have all 3 by me and they all have it, if they are out they can special order it, its like 4$ for a tube of it takes a little bit to settle, and it works better if you have damp hands when working it otherwise it sticks to your fingers so take a glass of water with you when you start working it all together

    Thanks.

    I think I'll empty by tank to 1/4 - 1/3 full and then glue it. Then fill it back up? lol. I don't feel like taking rock out and making a sand storm. Rock is just where I want it now. :p

    Id pull it out if you can, mainly bc you dint want to put it in your tank just incase it releases toxins, i let mine sit for 24hrs then put it in my tank..

    Where do I buy that? ReefMonkey was saying the JBJ would dry within a few minutes and I could put it back into the water then.

    It does dry fast, but as you work it the fumes are terrible and id be nervous to put it in my tank you can buy the underwater epoxy from any lfs or even petco or petsmart or anywhere online, which ever you decide let me know how it goes
