“reef wall” aquascape

Im looking build an aquascape that is open on the floor yet tall with shelves and tunnels. I read an artical (bellow) about using an epoxy resin.

Does any body know what epoxy resin is safe for salt aquariums (brand and supplyer)?

Link: Tank of the Month - January 2008 - Reefkeeping.com

Pictures of this type of aquascape worth a 100 words.

Thanks!!!

Why don't you get a small PVC pipe or something similar, drill the rock, and just do it that way?
When i bought Live Rock from a reefer, he had a huge wall full of rock and he had it done that way, he said that way he can remove the rock without a problem whenever he wants to, it's pretty stable, cheap, and it looks good too!!

kinda reminds me of myself

epoxy from lowes will work. as long as the label states that it's safe for potable water. you can buy the "reef" epoxy from places like Drs foster and smith. but, it's probaly the same stuff you get a lowes, with the price doubled.
