What is the best way to mount a frag to a rock? i.e. frogspawn or hammer. i use the putty but that seems useless. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I use super glue or loctite gel, then some water weld, then more glue. When you push it against the rock, give it a tiny twist to make sure the skin on the glue breaks. I also don't glue more than 5 frags at a time because of the microbubbles and because the epoxy will make your skimmer go nuts.

I have had good luck using super glue gel and putting a glob on then dipping it under water so it forms a skin. I repeat that a few times until I think there is enough glue to get into the crevices. Then I just push the coral onto the Rock and give it a little twist.
