I was wondering what kind of glue do you use when gluing your frags to rocks I can't ever seem to find one that sticks my corals to the rocks

I use BRS super thick glue(elegant reef sells it) but its a learned skill. I use a lil epoxy and super glue. make a ball of epoxy, put a lil super glue then attach to frag then a lil super glue to epoxy and then straight into tank and attach to rock

Super Glue Gel, put it on, hold it in place for about 30 seconds, then press down and give it a 1/4 twist.

I just use whatever super glue gel I could find, probably from Lowes. It helps if you apply the bead of glue, dip it in water, then take it out. It's supposed to let the outer layer of the glue oxidize or something.
I always read the frag|super glue|epoxy|super glue|rock method worked well, but I never understood why you would put epoxy in between the glue if the glue was the only adhesive contacting the rock/frag.

Just don't use Scotch super glue gel. Its runnier and takes longer to set then loctite. I should of known better when Target was selling three tubes for the price of one tube of loctite at Home Depot...
