Glue For Corals.

[Eric Noa]

I wanted to know if you guys could tell me which type of glue you use to glue your frags to the rocks. Im looking for something that I can use underwater... In other words that I can glue the frags underwater without having to take out the piece of rock. thanks

Gel Super Glue

Would that work to glue a small rock to a bigger rock? Because I have some frags glued to small pieces of rocks and the snail knock them down so I want to glue those little rocks to the big rocks

You can use Epoxy Putty for that:

Boston Aqua Farms Colored Reef Epoxy Putty 2oz

It didn't work for me :( I tried and tried, and it never stuck.

 

[daugherty]

thats what i use. the gel

 

[Sunshine]

wonder why it didn't work for me ,,,,

 

[daugherty]

you have to use alot of it and hold everything in place until it cures

 

[Sunshine]

oh, that could be why. I only held it for a few seconds. When it came off, the little glue spots floated in the water.

I use both super glue gel and the marine epoxy.

I use a reef honey that my LFS sells (superglue that is honey consistency)

The people in my area LOVE this stuff, I have used it but its to rich for my blood! but it does work good?

IC-GEL Insta-Cure Cyanoacrelate Gel 20gr. - AquaCave

I use superglue gel or two-part epoxy putty from the hardware store.

 

[Angelajean]

Can I use the super glue gel to glue a couple of smaller rocks together or will it take too much?

Would the 2 part epoxy say for aquariums or just what I can get at hardware store?

Thanks,
Angie

For rocks, I would say the epoxy is a better choice. Use the plumbing epoxy that comes in a stick, not the liquid two-part epoxy. It doesn't say it's for aquariums, but you want to get a brand that says it's safe for potable (drinking) water.

I've always used superglue gel and it's always worked great!
