    Hi,

    What is a good commonly available aquatic-life-safe glue to use to glue frags to rocks?

    Thanks!

    many people use super glue gel - the gel is easier to work with than liquid glue

    but I prefer to use Reef Putty "aquascape" from Geisseman and D and D

    this stuff has the colour of coralline when mixed (2 part mixed in equal QTYS)

    so looks natural to me when I use it to secure frags or larger corals on my reef

    Go to the local dollar store adn use Gel super glue Like steve said.. It works best for Coral to rock or plugg adheasion...."sp"

    For coral's that are on rock's but you want to place them on another rock Use Reef Putty, or i go to Walamart and use Water weld putty you will find it in the automotive section.. And it like $4. for a good sized tube...



    BEst of Luck...
