Just got some frags in, and thinking of glue them on my LR since they've been knocked down and fell into everywhere all the time. The frags all came with a little rock attached on the buttom.
I don't really want to take my LR out of the tank that might change my aquascaping. Is there any glue or epoxy can do the work underwater? Have anyone tried any method could share here?
Many thanks!

I like D-D or Tunze. I think they are pretty equal. I much prefer epoxy to glue though, as it's easier to get frags to stick.

I am not a fan of epoxy myself, I prefer Super Glue gel...find its just way easier to use and cures in a fraction of the time epoxy does.

I use epoxy to mount frag plugs/rocks to my live rock structures. Super glue GEL works best for mounting freshly cut frags to plugs/rocks.

+1

Apply glue to frag then dip glue end into the water, apply glue to rock,plug, whatever, then dip into water, Jam the two together and it will never come apart. I have applied super glue to spots of my LR structure in the tank and then just stuck the plug or what not to it.
I find it way easier than epoxy but thats just me. :biggrin:

Shameless self promotion at it's best :mrgreen:

That being said, my glue is 20grams and you can cut the bottom of the tube when the main opening clogs so you can get all the glue out.
