[alLexX]

today i decided to make a cave for my tank,so i smashed some slate into smaller peices,and built the cave. thats when i realized i didnt know how to glue it together. i need to know what i can use to glue it together.id rather not spend $10 on a tiny tube of aquarium silicon,but will if i have to

Loctite make a clear silicone waterproof adhesive that's aquarium safe and only like $4 for quite a decent sized tube. I've used it a couple of times without problems.

are there certain brands to use/avoid?

You can use hot glue also, but it doesn't adhere nearly as well as superglue, epoxy or silicone.

That's what I use for my egg traps.

thanks for your comments guys,but i was looking in my garage and found a tube of white silicon that said it was aquarium safe,so i used that. sadly,i hd to ruin the original design when i siliconed it,but it still looks pretty good if i do say so myself
