I glue animals to rocks: How do you attach frags to your aquascape?
I remember the first time I saw the T-Shirt at a reef show that said: “I glue animals to rocks”. I was initially horrified, then I realized it was referring to attaching corals to the rockscape in a reef tank. Side note: R2R strongly encourages the ethical treatment of animals. Maybe you just got your first coral, or you have been keeping corals for many years – either way, when you put the coral into your tank you usually want it to stay where you put it so that you can create a beautiful reefing tank. How do you attach frags to your aquascape? Maybe you use some type of adhesive or maybe you just set the frag plugs in place without any glue. Please let us know if you recommend a specific type of glue and share your tips and tricks for placing your corals.
