    Default Glue

    What kind of glue can I use underwater to anchor frags and rock pieces with that actually "cures" underwater without disturbing water chemistry. I bought that Two Fishes brand of there "mighty putty" and that didn't work worth a hoot. I bought some super glue gel and that worked on small pieces I could actually take out of the tank. But I am looking for something that cures underwater since some some of the pieces I want to glue to is my base rock.

    hmm...i used the corallife epoxy two part kinda works but not that great, trick is with the two part type, that once you mix it, you have to use a clean finger to spread and work it into place if not it just sticks to the finger that have the epoxy on them.

    You might try Korallen Speedglue. It is basically a quick cure mortar that cures under water or in the air. Its a little tricky to get mixed right but it holds well once it sets. Catch is, that you have to be quick once you get it mixed. Takes some practice...

    There is a marine epoxy that you can find at the local fish store, what scorpino suggested works wonders.
