    Hey guys, I am actually preparing to buy coral. With them I am also ordering Glue so I can glue my corals down into place.

    I had this same type of glue at home called CorAffix, but every time I use it, after like 2 uses the glue dries up and it clogs the tip every time. Is there a way to prevent this?

    Also, another important question, do you guys dip your corals that you buy online? If so, with what kind of solution?

    CoralRX for dips, super glue gel for frags. Keep the tubes in a reseal-able pouch they fare far, far better over time.

    I use Gorilla glue "super glue" Gel. I get it in the small bottle instead of the tube..keep it upright and I have never had any issues with it drying out....I use it to frag to plug or rubble..let it get established on rack...then I use the "putty" to stick to rockwork.

    I did, but as soon as I put it in there it disappeared in the rock work. I also got a brittle star fish:)

    All in all, its about 40 snails and 9ish hermits and 1 serpent.
