Super glue for reef tanks

[Knight420]

I was wondering is Gorilla glue Cyanoacrylate safe? I noticed the 2 little fishes use the same ingredients. Also is an aerosol activator safe?

Not sure. I find the EcoTech gel glue works really good for adhering in-tank.

All cyanoacrylate is considered reef safe, but I'm not sure I would place fresh glued frags back in the display tank after activator has been used, unless it has been rinsed well.

This is for aqua scape. Thank you for all the advice.

Yes. . Cheaper and safer is gel superglue from the dollar store

I use both gorilla superglue gel and loctite superglue gel in my tanks, no issues thus far.

That's what I use. All cyanoacrylate glue is reef safe. I wouldn't chance aerosol.

tried gorilla gel superglue for some frags. Found out it was very long to solidify compared to some other brands. But for aquascape, shouldnt be too much of an issue

 

[Bryce M.]

I use gorilla glue

 

[damsels are not mean]

Anything 100% cyanoacrylate is 100% reef safe. Even if used underwater.

Can you use normal Gorilla Glue to attach frags to rocks?

 

[The_ReefB0y_FOX24]

Not gel but right out of the bottle?

Can you use normal Gorilla Glue to attach frags to rocks?

Yes. When it cures in a few seconds, it is simply acrylic, totally inert.

If it is cyanoacrylate it is reef safe. Anything else probably not.
Using any cyanoacrylate is best done using the gel formula, because the regular ( non gel) won't stay where you need it and runs all over the place.

Oh... thank you mfinn! I'll try gel.
