Here's a tip for those of you who don't know. I've learned that almost any store bought super glue is fish safe as long as it is a gel and not a liquid. Liquid seems to run and gel seems to stay in one position. I also use super glue gel to glue my corals down and for frags.

As long as the glue is cyanoacrylate, it is reef safe. Don't be fooled, some are not!

Ok thanks...what is a real good glue for rockscaping? I bought some expensive stuff from Dr. Forster's and Smith and it glued temporarily but then as soon as I moved it it would just break away from where I bonded it. Stuff cost like $50 :(

Does the gel glue also work on live rock?
It does work, just make sure you are gluing rock and not the coraline.

You can also use reef epoxy. I have used both and prefer super glue.

All that said I don't recommend gluing rock, try to stack it on its own. If the glue does fail, it sucks to crush coral or scratch the tank wall if a rock comes loose.
