Default Attaching Frags

Is there some other cheaper epoxy/glue used to attach frags to LR that is cheaper than the $20 stuff the LFS's sell?

Just go and buy some quick dry superglue, works fine for frags just turn frag upside down in the tank keeping everything but base submerged then apply a small amout of glue dont cover entire base and hold rock for max 30 seconds then place back in tank. U can get ones that dry underwater but it cost too much this way is cheeper

Yup any kind. But gel superglue is the best

You can get Aquascape milliput epoxy from JL Aquatics for $10.75 and it works great underwater and is the color of coralline algea. They offer free delivery to your door step with orders over $100
