How do y’all go about gluing, not coral creting/epoxying/puttying, frags to rock?

I can’t securely do it for the life of me. Just had a chalice fall off.

Gel super glue... If it's a odd angle and I want it flat I'll make a base with epoxy. IF you take a tooth brush and scrub the rock first the glue will stick. Biofilm is the best anti glue out there... like trying to glue a mushroom that's slimed up. Impossible without killing the shroom.

I remember if you were good with this you were the ultimate gamer because it made every game harder

I’ll have to give this a shot

I have the best luck with putty. The glue seems to never stick securely and make the absolute worst mess imaginable. Every coral I tried to glue has ended up getting reattached with putty. When I say worst mess imaginable, I mean I got it in my hair once.

Is it okay to put putty under skeleton?

This is the best I could do with the chalice.

Probably just going to glue it to a rock for now.

Do you think he’s ok folded like this?

Disregard, none of y’all answers matter now lol

Trying to think about the next steps for my tank. Not really sure what to do with the mid and top section. I’m trying to keep sps to a minimum, no more than 7 maximum in the tank to keep it a relatively true lps.

I know I want an acanthos and cynaria but not sure what else to get as I’ll be getting species I have.

What are some good mid/high flow lps for the top part of my rockscape?

my frogspawn is the highest thing up in my tank

Good call! I also read that frogspawn and hammers are good neighbors to each other.

I’m thinking about getting some magnetic frag rocks that I think @sfin52 recommended and placing some euphyllias/leptos on them.

I still need more brain corals, I can’t get enough of them but don’t have much space on the bed. I should have planned my scape better.

Not as dumb as I.

I’m thinking about getting more lobos. They are kind of odd and a bit finicky, especially the Australian types but I still love them. Wish I had more space for trachys, my girl is potentially my favorite.

Also, I don’t know what it is, I don’t really even care for them that much but I keep buying chalices and favias, not sure what it is.

I really don’t know where I’m going to put the acanthos or cynaria, almost feel like they will have to be in the sand bed behind my structure.
