    when you frag a coral and you put the coral on the frag plug can you use normal super glue or do you have to buy special reef safe glue?

    Yep, standard Wal-Mart super glue gel works. I bet I have a couple pounds of the stuff in my system with no ill effects.

    You can use original super glue it's just more dificult to put it where you want since it is thinner and will run

    Never done it but it's a wood glue and I'm willing to bet it would kill everything in your tank , just buy loc tight gel superglue it solidifys on contact with water
