Is gorilla super glue reef safe?

[Chuja's reef]

It also says the impact tough formula

 

[KrisReef]

It can be used to attach frags but it is runny. Most people use the gel version.

 

[HB AL]

Yes, I've used the Gorilla super glue jell for the last few years.

 

[robbyg]

Yes the Gel version has worked well for me in conjunction with rock work Putty. I would not use one without the other and I also like the small containers of Glue because If something goes wrong I have three or four of them in the freezer as opposed to one big bottle getting hard if water gets in it. And yes store the Gorilla glue in the freezer and just before using warm it up by running some warm tap water on the bottle for a minute.





This is a great video on how to glue corals and rock work.


Hope this helps.

Gel version is best and it is reef safe.

 

[T-J]

As others have said, yes. And yes, the gel version is preferred.
I also use Locktite brand gel superglue.
If you're really lucky, you can find the generic 100% cyanoacrylate at the dollar store!

Use the gel version

I like this glue because it's cheap and the tubes are small and I can usually use the whole tube on 3-4 frags and toss the rest since they can make a mess.

That's the same stuff at Dollar Tree, but way more expensive on Amazon.
$6 oz at Dollar Tree. $9 oz on Amazon.

Cool, it's $7.46 and I don't need to go into the dollar store. Either way it's cheaper than gorilla glue gel and gets the job done.

Here is an alternative glue that comes in a bigger bottle and works just as well.

I tried those little 2g ones and just found they were too hard to work with. The one I linked is the same price per Gram and the bottle is the perfect size for working with corals.

Used that and it works really well. Dries quick and have seen no adverse effects for it in my tank.

 

[Reefahholic]

Yep, the Gel is absolutely reef approved.

The BRS extra thick is definitely THICK.

 

[stanlalee]

If there is a supeglue gel that's not reef safe I haven't found it. I use pretty much ANY supeglue gel available.

Would this work to fix a leak?

If I had a leak I would probably try it but I don’t think it is recommended for that purpose.
