What do you guys use to glue your frags to rock? I have some purple coral glue but I don't like it. I can't take my rock out every time I want to add a new coral. Is there something like a putty that I can form around the frag to keep it in place. My blue knuckled hermit thinks he should constantly knock things over. Did have him out of my tank at one point, but his tube like eyes looked at me and I felt bad, so he is now on strike 3!! :smile:

I had the same question about frag glue, and the loctite super glue gel, works great for me so far. Had no problems with it yet. I bought mine at canadian tire. Hope this helps!

Use an epoxy instead. Something like this

If you don't want to take the rock out of the water , use D&D frag putty. Hardens the color of coralline. You just shape it in your hands and attach the frag to the rock and it cures automatically. Available at j&ls

Can you actually use the super glue gel under water? has anyone ever used it to glue live rock together?

Cheers!

"Glueing" LR with super glue isnt a good idea, it itsn't strong enough. Use either epoxy or pvc & zip ties.
