Coral placement

[Scottm84]

On the corals I have glued then I have used superglue gel with cyanoacrylate and it has been fine and hasn't caused any problems

I glue it all down

The glue I use

I enjoy not having to rearrange my coral everyday

So as long as the glue has cyanoacrylate then it should be fine underwater?

Yeah I think it's important. The glue in the pictures posted is the same one I use too

Cyanoacrylate is an ingredient that allows the glue to be fast acting which is ideal for corals. Less time, less stress is the way I see it

Has any one here been to Fintastic in Charlotte? It's a huge store and they have just about any coral you could think of.

There very expensive, & have poor quality fish & coral IMO.

Yes, and make sure it's gel. The Loctite Ultra control is what I have as well, and it's a good glue. I don't remember where I read it, but a good tip I picked up around here..... if you want to attach a frag really good, get yourself some aquarium safe epoxy putty. When you mix a little bit, put a dab of CA gel on the bottom of your frag, press the putty into it, and then put a little more CA gel on the bottom of the putty where you're going to press it to the rock. Since the putty takes a while to cure, the CA will hold it in place while it does.... works like a champ.

that loctite works really well i used it in all my tanks to glue down corals
