Glue for live rock

[reefchaser]

Can I glue my rocks together without hurting my fish?

What king of glue where you gonna to use?

 

[reefchaser]

Not sure. What's a good one to use

 

[Tradewinds]

Loctite super glue gel or if you want something a bit pricer try Ecotech's coral glue.

For bigger projects I have had success with AquaStik Epoxy Putty. (Although it makes your skimmer go crazy for a while.)

Best superglue for frags and small rocks, IC-Gel
Epoxy for dry cementing, embedded rods for wed large rock securing

This stuff is amazing! Drys quick and holds large rock together.

E Marco 400 and other Aquascape products

This is what I prefer. It's works well in my opinion however I wouldn't use it on wet rocks, but for any dry aquascaping or for fragging corals I really like it.

I used hydraulic cement with mine. Sakrete I think was the brand. It worked well and other members of my local club tested for leaching phosphates and other chemicals and didn't find any.

I also use epoxy. For large projects, have you considered acrylic rods?

I'm with @Herefishyfishy on this! I find that the Bob Smith Industries BSI Cyanoacrylate IC-Gel is the best stuff for glueing your Frags or the BRS
Paleo-Bond JURASSIC GEL 4540 REEF ADHESIVE is good stuff!


IC-Gel

JURASSIC GEL 4540 REEF ADHESIVE

I would watch doing this as they rocks become hard to get out of the tank. An sometimes you might want to remove a rock piece that has something undesirable growing on it. Things like this sound good but in practice become pains in the butt.
