WTB Coral Attachment Epoxy
 
Been looking every where for a epoxy that will work with soft corals. If anyone knows a place that has them "in stock" please let me know.

Thanks

I've been using Crazy Glue Gel and that's been working fine.

Chad, epoxy isn't going to work with soft corals.

Well its some sort of liquid one that I saw that does apparantly work. Hardens in seconds under water. Maybe the packaging was lieing to me??

Thread and needle works the best with most softies.

ya, I do that with most but I have this colt that I am worried about.. I tried the needle and thread and it basicly tore out and now it seems to be bleaching a bit???? Where it was cut (propagated) it is getting whiter and whiter.. so I am a bit nervous about it.

Super Glue works well and drys in seconds under water.


Hasn't done any bad to my tank since i have used it.

I've read that in a few of my reef books as well.. But I really wouldn't know what "brand" etc to buy if I was looking at them.

Use Super Glue GEL (that's exactly the brand name). The other versions of Super Glue IMO seep into the rock too quickly. It works really really well.
