Buying and securing corals

[Fishko]

Just wondering can i use this superglue in my reef tank my brs super glue dried up. Also has anyone bought the zoa 10 pack from yourreef.com. Its 100 for 10 frags. I am pretty bored and want to add some frags to my reef but dont really see anything i like online. Dont feel like paying 60 dollars a frag for a zoa. Just curious have never bought corals online

[/This super glue will not work because it is not gel. You need Gel Cyanoacrylic super glue

If you aren't picky frag packs are a great deal. I stopped doing them because I would usually end up with 1 or 2 pieces that I liked and they rest were kinda "meh". So, now I'd rather take that $100 and just buy a 2 or 3 pieces that I really love. Especially because my tank is small and space is limited.

I have not purchased from that specific vendor though.

Yes it will work gel or not, we usually use gel because it is easier to work with but any cyanoacrylate glue will do the job.

Junk zoos grow too fast you’ll wish you could return them In a few months

I just snagged a few bottles of Gorilla gel super glue and mounted five frags about an hour ago. That should be fine as long as it's cyanoacrylate, but you might run into problems if it's super thin. The thin glues are not fun to work with, and I always wind up with it on my fingers when mounting frags because it runs.

Im just curious, ive never bought online, to make an order worth while do you need to spend like 200 min, due to shipping costs?

It depends. Unique Corals ships free at $150. I noticed that some other stores like WWC now have $19.99 shipping which is a pretty good deal (they also have a zoa frag pack). But generally, I do buy the minimum for free shipment.

Been using gorilla glue gel for years. It’s fine to use. Just make sure it’s the gel. The regular is too watery.

Use gorilla gel as well, no issues and it is cheap.
