    You don't need top take your rock out. get a glob of glue on the frag and push it down in place. Hold for about 15 seconds and your done.

    i will just have to get the gel next time, i had a terrible experience. wouldn't be surprised if my tank crashes from all the stress i just put everything through. +1 to learning experiences! i think realistically they will be fine, i've had my lights out for the past two days after a WC hoping to fight back some of the algae blooms

    I've been using the "Gorilla Glue" brand Cyanoacrylate from Lowes. It is kind of a gel that has natural rubber pigment to give it body. It works great under water.

    With the small tubes you get 0.07 ounces per tube or about 0.21 ounces per three pack. With the larger bottles you can get 2 oz for about $7 and 4 oz for about $12 and they keep for months when capped and refrigerated.

    Sometimes but if its underwater I usually mix a couple drops of superglue into some AquaMend epoxy since it gives you a little time to work with it before it sets up.
