Just curious if anyone has grown leathers that have been glued to the tank glass. I’m thinking about trying a finger leather of some sort.
Thanks

Gluing leathers is an excellent exersize in futility. You'll need to use aquascaping to hold the finger against the glass until it grow onto it.

How do you glue rock to glass.
I tried supergluing montipora to glass and that was a failure. But it glued to the acrylic weir
I’ve had good success glueing small rocks (baseball size). First I sand/grind one side completely smooth, then I put a good amount of superglue on the surface. Briefly submerged rock+ glue underwater( usually in buckets) after the glue skins over you’ll want to tap and mix the glue up with a toothpick. Add a small amount of more glue then attract to glass. Constant pressure and slight lateral movement helps glue hardens.
