what kind of epoxy are you supposed to use for aquariums because i wanna cover some terracotta pots with sand and stones.
but yeah, ive stacked all the way to the top of my tank for my past mbuna and i keep my sand about 3-4" deep as well. ive never used crates before but i guess its a precaution huh.
addicted... The epoxy is plumbers putty that cures underwater. I use it to make caves, and many reef keepers use it to bond live rock together. It would be a waste to cover pots w/it. Try silicon and then the sand.
Is egg crate nec. on Acrylic? or just overkill and being a hyper-hypo....

Gas pockets. But certain types of sand a more prone to it than others. But if you have diggers the sand get stirred up enough anways. Plus if you use filter sand its supposedly not supposed to do that.
Anyways, i use 3-4 inches of sand and the rock layout is always changing. Just make sure your base rocks touch the bottom. I also use the lighting crate on the bottom for rock stability.
And if you ever have to divide a tank you can lock another piece of crate into it.
