First Attempt at a Glue Job
So I finally got some of that aquarium glue stuff at Home Depot yesterday and have a few new corals for free I want to try to glue down. Let me know how it looks. I think I used more than I needed, but I hope it will get covered wiht coralline
   I have still a rookie with this glue-down thing. I may get the hang of it yet. -Doc Current Aquarium(s) Description: 210 gal "Shark Reef" With Angelfish and 90 gal reef tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: long enough to know I have a lot to learn

Re: First Attempt at a Glue Job
You done pretty good for a first timer Doc.
Those corals will eventually encrust the glue,so no worries there.

Re: First Attempt at a Glue Job
Thats not bad at all, it just takes practice. After a while it becomes really easy and the coral hold better for longer.

Re: First Attempt at a Glue Job
oh, so you mean I will have to re-attach them every so often? that sucks. I was hoping they would encrust over the rock after a month or so

Re: First Attempt at a Glue Job
OMG you started a thread about THIS?!?! Way to pander for posts, Doc!!!
 Just kidding. I've been looking for a reason to use that post bomb for a while now. There's nothing like having a funny picture on hand and seizing the opportunity to share it! Figured it would have to be in either one of yours, Freak's, or Yote's posts as to not be misunderstood  .Anyways, they will encrust over the rock on their own. I think he meant that YOU will become more skilled at it over time.

Re: First Attempt at a Glue Job
Ha!!! biff, that pic was classic. I about squirted milk out my nose when I read it. Great reply
As for the gel, I used; Loctite Super Glue Gel. It was $4.00. I applied it outside the water and set the coral onto the rock piece I wanted it on and held it for about a minute and it stayed put.
