How is everyone mounting their SPS

[puffster]

I superglue my fraggs to a piece of rock or rock rubble out of my sump after they have grown to where I need them from the fragg rack. Looks more natural and I can still move them if needed.

Always superglue. Easy and minimal damage to the bottom side tissue.

I am one of the "don't like frag plugs" also.. Any frags i had gotten, I immediately took them off, with a much encrusted material as possible. I was only using water weld, until a friend showed me how to CA and water weld. It is working excellent on just about any angle i have tried. And the water weld, seems to get the fastest beginning encrusting..

Is that water weld from j-b weld

Is that regular super glue and are you using it under water. Can you explain how you do it.

Yep!

I lay my frags horizontal on the plugs and super glue them that way

By they way that's an awesome tank.

i just use a little super glue on both in and kind of make a sandwich with epoxy.

ok and what is the trick ( Ca and water weld?)

Plug->Glue->Epoxy->Glue->Coral

so you are gluing the coral to frag plug but what about to the rock

I've used many of the listed techniques here. Actually I often use one that isn't listed as well. Sometimes I take a frag without a plug and just wedge it in a hole or small crevice. I usually do this when I'm not quite sure where I want it, but often it stays there and encrusts. There is no glue or plugs involved and with time the coral cements itself. I have lost coral this way as sometimes they are knocked over, but I've had that happen even with nicely glued or epoxied frags when large snails come through.

Rock -> Glue -> Epoxy -> Glue -> Plug -> Glue ->Epoxy -> Glue -> Plug :)

Sounds like a delicious sandwich.
