stax -- without glue or cement

Hi

I just got my big box of staxx. I forgot to get epoxy. Have any of you stacked a fair sized vertical structure without any cement? and did it end up ok?

*Which cement did you use if you used any? I think the cheapest (and still good?) is called aquamend?? From HD? I used that a lonnnng time ago. Though I was in HD a while ago. They didn't know what I was talkign about and I coudn't find it. Is it under a new name? It's the the exact same as the tube within a tube of epoxy you get from Fish stores.

**How about waterweld: https://www.homedepot.com/p/J-B-Weld...8277/202528473
?

Yes I have stacked without glue, but of course, it must be very very stable, you don’t want anything falling over.

For glue I have used Gorilla Glue Gel for rock, coral and plug.

Fast and strong, cures in minutes, and your skimmer will not go nuts....
