{"title":"Two Little Fishies","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo Little Fishies was founded in Florida in 1991 to promote the reef aquarium hobby, and AquaStik is the product of theirs we stock. It is a two part epoxy putty for fixing coral frags, rock and gorgonians into an aquascape, and it cures dry, on damp rock or fully under water. Cut off what you need, knead the two colours together until even, and press it into place. You get about 5 to 15 minutes of working time, and it is fully cured in about 24 hours. It comes in Coralline Red and Stone Grey, so the joint blends in with rock already covered in coralline algae or with fresh dry rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix only as much as you can use in the working time, and use a coral glue for small frags.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"aquastik-epoxy-putty","title":"AquaStik Epoxy Putty","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSets rock-hard underwater in hours, so new frags and aquascape pieces stay put from the moment they go in.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Little Fishies AquaStik is a two-part epoxy putty for bonding coral frags, rock and gorgonians into an aquascape.
