I bought a 2.5 oz bottle for $17 but I think it will go a long way for frags and can be used on so many other things around the house too.

I always use the thick or gel type Ca glue. Ca glues all have the same active ingredient. Buying one that says it's made specifically for corals is a joke and a waste of money. Because they charge a ridiculous amount of money for the exact same thing you can buy at the doller store.
Just make sure you buy thick or gel ca glue. Don't waste the money because it says Eco Tech. It's no better than any cheap glue.

Around here, Dollar Store glue is $1 for 3mL (0.33/mL) and loctite/lepage is $6-$7 (1.6/mL) for 4mL. Ecotech is $22 for 75mL (0.29/mL) or $55 for 295mL (0.19/mL). So who charges more for the exact same thing?

I'm not sure about hobby store glue.

Hobby store glue is great. I get 2 oz bottles for 8 bucks.
2oz lasts a very long time.
I do use these as well.

Hard to beat these prices. 250 ml for 20 bucks.
