Default Attaching Rocks and Frags

Has anyone out there used anything other than the "Aqua Stik" type epoxy or
Super Glue Gels for attaching rocks and frags? I'm not having very good luck using the epoxy to stablize my rocks. My problem is that I need it to be able to cure underwater.

I hate the "aquastik" as it causes my skimmer to go nuts for days...

I use "aquamend" its about $3.00 for a stick of it at the home depot.

Seems to cure underwater, I've used it about 4 times now and it hasnt failed me yet...

Rick,

I've seen it mixed in with the glues and epoxies section, I also seen it on an end cap once..

Its a light green package, isnt large at all, blends into the shelf area well....
