PVC for corals?

Can any PVC bought at the local hardware store be used to mount my SPS's and others?

What about crazy glue? Is it safe to use to glue say my LPS to some LR? And is there a method to this system?

Thanks.

 

You should be able to use any new PVC. You can use crazy glue as long as it is cyanoacrylate. You can try to glue the LPS to your rock. You may need to use reef safe putty to achieve the best hold the larger the LPS you are trying to mount. Pull the rock out of the tank and mount the coral to it it the best way to get the best glue success, then place back in the tank.

 

I assume you are talking about PVC pipe and not PVC glue. Don't use PVC glue on coral. Not sure how you attach SPS using PVC pipe but any PVC should be OK in a reef. There is one kind that floats and the rest sinks. I think drain/sewer pipe floats so that would not be good. It is not as dense as the standard water pipe.

As 2in10 said, and cyanoacrylate glue will work. The gel type is thicker and works better IMO.
