Need to secure my Sponges

Trandall · May 18, 2009

Not sure what's best? They keep getting over turned by the current or tumbling. Want to permanently attach them to the rockwork. Is super glue too caustic for sponges? Not sure whether to use epoxy or super glue.
Would love any advice.
Thanks~

Do they have any rock attatched to them or are we dealing with straight sponge? If straight sponge I would find a slow area like your fuge. I'm not sure how your new sump is set up. but alot of peole put sponges in their fuge to pull waste out of the water. Conditions are about optimal for a sponge in a fuge and it should grow and cover a small piece of attatching rock. Then you can move and glue it anywhere you want it. Happy reefing.

Sponges shouldn't be glued they burn easily.Take a rubberband and a small piece of rubble and put it around the sponge and the rock loosely.One it forms a base you can put it in the sand on top of a rock.Heres a pic of mine that started out about 4",sorry for the bad pics.
