bad epoxy

[jc]

I have been trying to use aquastik epoxy putty to mount some frags on to live rock, but the stuff doesn't seem to hold well. Do I have to attach the frag to the LR outside the tank? Wouldn't that hurt the coral being exposed to the air and all? Is their anything else I can use? I heard super glue gel would work but how safe is it and can you use it under water?

Use super glue.. Some of us use Loctite®, works excellent and 100% safe to use.

Super glue, make sure it is gel

lowe's sells the loctite super glue gel in the 10g tube for 4.50.

most frags are fine out of the water for a little while. Some people even ship certain SPS without water. Just don't leave it out so long it dries out.

i usually glue the frag to a small piece of live rock outside the water to make sure sticks well, and then i put a glob of superglue gel on that rock and glue it into place in the tank.
