    Default Milliput

    Hey All
    Am i right in asuming normal milliput is the same as the deltec construct? dont see the point in spending 3 quid more on a box when it will purple up itself in a month or two...£1.20 a box cant be bad:D

    Hi Wayne,

    I have got a pack of milliput,
    two parts mix together and fix,
    well if it's the same stuff then yes why buy the expensive stuff when this does the same job ?,

    Hi Guys make sure you dont use to much of this stuff as it can upset your water quality. I would suggest no more than 1 box at a time in say a 5x2x2 tank. HTH Twiggy:D

    I never seemed to have much joy with these products. I find that they will stick bit of rock together, but even the slightest knock breaks the bond.

    Maybe the way I prepare the stuff.

    Also find it makes a right mess of the water!

    Wayne, I have a little pussy frag you can have for nothing (if your tank is ready?) to get you on your way. Are you going to the meeting next week?

    Nice little piece of coral. It grew all over the place in my "old" setup.
