Coral frags, help please

[Chrisfish]

i know you all have some expertise with this so please chime in . I haven't attached my coral frags before now as I wasn't sure of my rock scape. I'm pretty happy with it so I need to attach them as my emerald crab and cuc keeps knocking them down. I have not had any luck with super glue but maybe I'm doing it wrong. Right now I have to much of the hands in the tank syndrome because they end up face down on the sand bed:mad: so please give some advise. And sorry for being so long winded. :D

You need to use gel super glue.

Definitely super glue, make sure it's cyanoacrylate as well. I have to do that too. I have already lost a few frags to the depths of the rocks lol

That's what I bought as it said it was water resistant and I also bought that stuff that's like silly putty and it turns grey but didn't stick either.

I use super glue gel too. I have the reef branded stuff that I won at a swap some years ago, but the cheap stuff works just fine. Put a blob about the size of a pea.

That expoxy works, but it needs to be held in place until it cures. So does super glue for that matter. It only takes a few second with super glue though.

Ok thanks, will the kind that I posted work?

I get this at the dollar tree but u need the gel type.

 

[TheEngineer]

I don't know that product specifically. You want something that is just cyanoacrylate.

Ok thanks you all, I'll post pictures when I'm done " glueing"!them. :D

This is the right stuff. Other superglues not so much. Gel is awsome :-)
