Super glue pvc to glass inside established tank?

[Joekovar]

I got a deal of a tabling purple milli a couple of weeks ago. The LFS had it long enough that it's fused to the 2" pvc pipe it was sitting on.

right now I've got that pipe ziptied to a strip of pvc sheet up against the back wall. It looks ugly as can be, but it was meant to be temporary.

it likes the spot enough that a couple of spots are starting to fuse to the temporary pvc sheet so I need to stop dragging my feet.

ive made a smaller shelf just the right size out of pvc sheet, and embedded 3 neodymium magnets in that with epoxy.

I'm not sure I want to trust just the magnets though.

I want to keep it in the current spot, and I'm thinking about cleaning the back glass really well, goobering the back of my shelf up with gorilla gel super glue, sticking it on the glass, and relying on the magnets mainly to hold it until the glue sets up.

does this sound lie it's going to hold a tabling milli colony long term? The colony is about as big as an average hand right now.

Not sure if I didn't clean the glass well enough but I have never had superglue hold anything on the glass for more than a few days. Tried with shells and also tiny coral frags.

Good question. I don't have an answer but a thought; I have never seen a large coral that was growing as a shelf with the coral also attaching itself to the side of the tank glass as it grew. I have seen coral grow and encrust onto plastic, live rock, and coat ceramic but not coat & encrust and then begin shelving, or fingering.

you might try making a hanger out of flat PVC or acrylic that would hang on the top lip of the tank andlet you glue the PVC the milli is on to the hanger. The hanger could be disgized somewhat by glueing sand to it.
