I have been trying for a week to glue a chalice frag to the back of my tank. It's a redsea and the back wall is plastic. The glue (BSI Gel glue) sticks to the chalice, but then after about a day it falls off.

Other than scratching up the back, what can I try? Would Epoxy work better?

Many things don't stick to plastic easily. I might suggest looking at something from Alternative Reef. Pretty sure they are sponsor here. Its a manget mounted frag system. In time, the chalices can and will grow into the back of the tank itself

Right now I just have it leaning. I'm hoping it goes up and not down, lol.
