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

Cant see the picture?what was it

 

[Freshermenreefer]

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

Robot or human?

Thanks will look into it I like the idea of having more options I think I seen this one before

Loc-tite gel for me.

 

[Freshermenreefer]

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.

thanks for the feedback nice tank by the way

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

Loctite for out of the water, and the original super glue gel for underwater

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 .

Thanks for taking your time out to help

Nice I actually see the gel one at the dollar store all the time it's nice to know that it actually works thanks

This glue is good for glueing frag plugs to rock or glass other than that it doesn’t work well with gluing coral to the actual frag plug it’s self.

Awesome. If you compare ingredients alot of the glues are actually the same

 

[4tanks]

so you put both of those on the back of a frag plug

You put the super glue on the frag plug then coral crete on top of that then you super glue that to the rock so basically the coral crete moulds to the shape of the rock giving a better bonding surface so super glue coral crete super glue

I put a dab of gel on the plug /rubble rock … dip it into the saltwater a few times, pull "gelled plug" above water line then set the frag into the gel. Hold it still in water for about 30 seconds then it is "usually" firm enough to set down

Cant see the picture?what was it

its an amazon link to super glue gel. strange that you cant see it

 

[PicassoClown04]

I hold the super glue for between 10 and 60 seconds just depending on how much I had to use and if I’m also using epoxy. If it’s just glue, usually less than 30, if there’s also epoxy it’s closer to a minute. I just let go when it feels stable.

Every glue I've seen marketed by hobby suppliers is really just cyanoacrylate - or super glue.

Exactly. As others have said any brand of superglue gel. The gel is thicker. I use jb water weld for the epoxy.
