The best is Loctite Gel (blue and silver bottle with blue squeeze tabs). Apparently it can cure underwater as well... but I have yet to make that happen for some reason.

Your looking mainly for the compound "Cyanoacrylate" which is reef safe. I wouldn't try any others.

Yes, and as above, Loctite gel seems to work best. I find Krazy brand leaves a film on the water surface as you put it into the water. Recently I've started using Loctite Gel Ultra... it's a few dollars more but it is the cat's pajamas! Best I've used so far.

I should also add that that with the amount I buy of this stuff I might actually be a part owner of the company... I should look into it. At the vary least I am putting someone's kids through college.

Tailored Aquatics & Ocean wonders market a super glue as well.....it actually a better deal(a rare thing when it comes to aquarium products) than buying loctite or crazy glue.....30ml for like $15 instead of 6 or 10 ml for $7

After using Loctite superglue Gel, i found i prefer Reef Glue GEL - Oceans Wonders over it because it last me longer and it does not seal the top of the bottle after use
