Hello! I was interested in fragging my coral and i was wondering if there are anygood solutions to fragging with out having to order the ceramic disks and coral glue online. Are there any safe solutions of super glue and small ceramic. I have a target/walmart near amd even arts and craft store where i can find glues i just dont know what would be safe.

I'v used small limestone tiles as plugs.

I prefer loc-tite superglue gel.. the bottle is nice and lasts a little longer, loc-tite brand doesn't clog up like generic tubes..

You don't want any old superglue. Some of that stuff can be toxic. Cyanoacrylate adhesive is what type of superglue most people seem to use and you can pick up a pack of 6 for $2. Just make sure it says that on the label and it will be fine :)
I use live rock rubble for my frags. But that limestone tile idea is a good one.

I buy about 5 or so of these every time I'm in lowes or Home Depot. The limestone tile is a good idea. I've made plugs with concrete and a mold. Look up DIY frag plugs. Also cheap on eBay. $15 for 100. Better them the time it takes to make in my opinion.

Super glue gel comes in a yellow an dc green package and is cheap. Just glue it to a rock, it looks better than frag plugs or disk.
