Stupid epoxy

[Bifferwine]

What kind of epoxy do you guys use to get your frags to stick? None of the kinds that I've bought will hold in the water! Removing my rocks from the tank is not an option, I've tried sticking the stuff to a frag then waiting a few minutes, but as soon as I put the frag in the tank and try to stick it to a rock, the damn epoxy floats off! How can I get this to work? Right now I've got a bunch of frags sitting in plastic cups in my tank because they keep on getting lost.

Ive heard that you can use the super glue gel.Ive not tryed it so I dont how well itll work.

I've heard that too but my rocks are underwater, so I need something that will stick and cure underwater, I don't think super glue would.

HEH ...rectorseal in the plumbing dept @ lowes or home depot

Okay, that's non-toxic to my critters and will cure in the water, right?

That Fish Place - Reef Glue Gel #BQ0005 - "this gel can be applied underwater. Also they have reef glue accelerator BQooo4 and Reef glue Debonder BQ0007 for the fingers to get the sticky off.

sorry biffer i read that wrong...i wouldnt use epoxy directly on the coral but if it was already attached to a small piece of lr and you want to do lr to lr then i would use that epoxy i mentioned. ive seen anthony calfo use it in one of his fraging demos online

You have to pull the rock out of the water to use super glue gel but once you apply it you can set it in the water and it will set jerm and I used it on ours.

I used Aquascape Aquarium Epoxy Its from Europe and it is non-toxic. It is really sticky in the water as well as out of the water. It worked great for me and comes in slate grey or mauve(to match purple coralline). Hope this helps

Thanks everyone, my LFS told me they use the super glue gel and that they apply it underwater and it still sets. I'll try that first (because it's cheap and I have some at home) but if that doesn't work I'll have to try some of the other suggestions and order it online.
