Maxspect Coral Putty 120g — Silicone-Based Coral & Aquascape Epoxy
The 3-minute cure that finally makes epoxy putty easy.
Most reefers have a love-hate relationship with epoxy putty — it works, but it's a pain: slow to mix, slower to cure, and it often clouds the water while you're still trying to position your rockwork. Maxspect Coral Putty fixes all of that with a silicone-based formula that is soft and easy to knead, starts curing very quickly, and hardens within 90 to 120 seconds of mixing — a fraction of the time traditional epoxy putties take. Reef Builders
Key Features:
- Cures in as little as 3 minutes — get your frag or rockwork placed and set without holding it in place for 20+ minutes
- 100% reef safe and safe for both marine and freshwater aquariums
- Won't cloud the water and won't overflow your protein skimmer — a common complaint with older-style epoxy putties
- Kneadable underwater — mix and apply directly in the tank, no need to pre-mold on a dry surface
- No foul smell during mixing or curing
- Natural coralline color — blends into your reefscape instead of leaving a visible grey or tan patch
- Silicone-based, not standard 2-part epoxy — a fundamentally different, easier-to-work formula than the category's old standby

Why it sells: This is the easiest "upgrade the basics" sell on the floor or online — anyone who's ever fought with slow-curing epoxy while holding a frag in place underwater immediately understands the value of a 3-minute cure. It's also a natural add-on at checkout alongside frag plugs, rock, or any coral purchase, since it's a near-universal need across the hobby regardless of skill level.
