reef safe glue

[hackteck]

what type of glue can i buy locally that will hold underwater? im going to buy a couple corals today or tomorrow and i would like go glue them to certain places in the tank without taking the rock out of the tank to glue them down

 

[carey]

I sucked up the $15 and paid for the reef gel glue from my lfs. lol It works underwater and is safe so I figured what the heck. lol

Admittedly the ecotech marine coral glue is the most amazing glue i've ever used.

 

[hackteck]

i gotta call and see if any lfs has that one Thanks for the info

 

[hackteck]

any of these good? Aqua Buys

just search glue, still looking for a local shop that has it this shop is local but thats all the glues they have

Super glue gel works fine.

 

[hackteck]

melosu58 would this work? Loctite Super Glue Gel from Loctite Adhesives

 

[hackteck]

or maybe this Loctite Super Glue Easy Squeeze Gel, .14oz, Super Glue Liquid 130379

or maybe this Loctite Super Glue Easy Squeeze Gel, .14oz, Super Glue Liquid 130379

This is what I use and love it. But any cheap superglue gel will work.

This is what I use It works good just hold it in place for a few minutes

 

[melosu58]

I agree that would work but as mentioned above any cheap super glue gel will work.

Thanks for the info everyone

Just make sure its the gel kind. The thin stuff does not work well at all, and chances are you will glue yourself to your rock trying.

 

[hackteck]

well i got the loctite gel glue and it wont hold the frag onto the rock doesnt seem to want to stick for some reason , and yes its the gel super glue not the liquid

 

[hackteck]

maybe because the frag is attached to a live rock rubble, can someone tell me aquarium safe epoxy that i could find at lowes or home depot maybe

 

[Flake]

there's one in the caulk section. It's literally "aquarium sealant" comes in a little tube, hanging in a package.

 

[hackteck]

what about this one anyone ever used this? also flake i will check and see if i can find that one when i take this other tube of loctite back tomorrow
Buy the Henkel Corp-OSI/Loctite 1405602 Epoxy Gel .85 oz at Hardware World

I was thinking of this:
DAP 2.8 oz. Silicone Aquarium Sealant - 00688 at The Home Depot

not sure if it works underwater though.

As far as the epoxy goes, I have zero idea if it's reef safe.

 

[hackteck]

hm i have a tube of that i thought it was just for filling cracks

 

[Flake]

I feel like it'd probably still work.
