What reef glue do you use

[Freshermenreefer]

I still consider myself new to the Hobby they're so the name freshman ha this is something that even when I first got into the hobby People never really told to me is get you some glue but now I'm at the point where I started a new system not too long ago and this time I actually brought Coral but I tried two-part epoxy that did not work for underwater my fat turbo still doesn't help either thinking about getting rid of him so I was wondering what is the best or good glue for gluing corals under water

i use gorilla super glue but it needs to be the gel not the regular super glue.

 

[Everything Aquatics]

I use the dollar store gel glue

 

[GlassMunky]

I like the small package size of each tube. this way i dont loose a bunch of glue to it solidifying in the tube

Any cyanoacrylate gel superglue will work, but I like the Loctite that comes in this kind of container:

Robot or human?

Coral Crete is the best epoxy (molds and locks things into place, but not sticky) I prefer the red/purple color because it blends with the coralline better, any type of Super Glue GEL is great, I get whatever gel superglue there is at the dollar store. Best way to stick anything anywhere in your reef is superglue on the coral, epoxy over that, more super glue on the epoxy, press onto rock, voila! That thing isn’t going anywhere. I mount frags entirely vertically using this method and they are solid as a rock. Use the epoxy liberally. You can see the pink epoxy I used to provide the structure and stability.

I use the same ones. Buy multi packs when on sale.
one trick I learned is to put the containers in the fridge while it’s open. makes the gel more viscous and controllable

I buy instant ocean coral epoxy and any type of super glue gel . I glue the frag to the epoxy and then glue the epoxy to my rock work . The glue and epoxy both cure underwater and works every time for me . This video might help you .

I use the hybrid method. I use any gel glue. Usually dollar store first then JB weld epoxy on top then more gel glue on epoxy. The epoxy makes it easy to fit in any surface as it molds to whatever your attaching it to and the glue holds it in place.

Any super glue gel works, but I prefer the loctite brand, and JB waterweld(both can be had at any big box store). They are cheaper and work better then any aquarium specific glue/epoxy.
