is there any type of puddy/glue that i can use to stick frags to a rock (while under the water). my frags are glued to plugs but the hermit crabs and power head keep knocking some down.

superglue, go to lowes and get to 10 gram GEL. place a small glob on the frag and place it in the water( it will develope a skin over it) touch it to the place that you want it to sit and rub it around until it starts sticking to the rock, hold it in place for a few seconds and your done!

LOC-TITE Brand works best in my experience. That's the same stuff Jon bought off me when y'all came by. Do just like Reefer said, once it forms that coat, sitck it where you want it, and hold it there for around a minute before you move your hand from it, or else it. Turn off your powerheads and returns first, it will help get it steady.

I bought a super thick 2 oz bottle of reef glue gel for about $10 online. The little tubes at the hardware store are 0.11 oz and cost a relative fortune. It was much thicker than anything I could find locally.

Does it hold stronger / better than the usual Loc Tite brand? I have terrible luck getting frags to stay with that stuff. I think I don't use enough (mostly because I tend to get it all over my fingers and get my fingers stuck together, very challenging for me :confused:.)

I still have a maroon clown that will head butt a frag if he doesn't like where it is mounted. I just go through alot of it so the 2 oz bottle was lots cheaper.
