Coral Glue?

[ds1196]

Every time I put a coral frag in the place that I want it, a hermit crab knocks it off! I know that I can use glue to place the corals, but I don't know what kind is safe for the tank. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Pretty much any type of super glue "gel" will work. You can either glue it directly to the existing rock, or glue it to a piece of rubble and put it where you want it.

I use super glue gel and glue the piece outside of the tank on the rock and then place it back in the tank. Seems to hold better that way. I was just about to post where I can find a LARGE tube of super glue gel. The little .07 tubes kinda stink. Anyone know where to get a bunch at?

Have you tried Home Depot for a bigger tube?

The best glue to date in my opinion and Brians is super glue gel from loc tite. It doesnt dry up with the top on and is in a tube 2 -3 times as big. I have gotten it at lowes. @ 5 a tube

The last time I checked HD did not have any larger tubes. I will have to check out Lowes. ;)

I don't have to worry about the glue leeching chemicals into the tank?

No ... its fine

I don't think there is a big impact on leeching the chemicals. From what I have read on here and seen in the LFS, thats what everyone uses so it must be safe....enough.
