What do people use to attach frags to the back glass? I’m wanting to get some monti caps going and was thinking a combo of epoxy and super glue, will this hold up?

Superglue works for me, you could also remove the coral from the original plug and reattach it to a magnetic frag plug and use magnets to hold it on the glass, easily positionable that way as well

I’ve had no luck with super glue so am using a single coral frag holder and hoping it’ll encrust over it and on to the glass.

I’ve used any normal reef tank glue. But I only did when doing a water change. Never had any issues when I did it this way

Super glue works very well if you have coralline growing on the glass.
