I have a cycled 24g aquapod,a nd starting to add coral, how do I attach thme to my LR? I Have about 25lbs of LR.

What kind of coral?

not sure yet, just starting out, I have seen many pics on this site of other 24g with tons of coral in it. I am not that brave yet. I have 1 zoo and 1 xenia so far, but I was just curios as to how to attache things

Most will come already attached on a rock and it can simply be placed in the tank. If you receive a frag or a coral that is not attached you could attach it to a shell or a small piece of dried lr using superglue gel.

if you recieve a piece thats not attached to anything (a frag) you can attach it to basically anything you want using the glue earlybird mentioned or the more preferred way of letting it attach itself.
Go to your local hardware store and purchase some plastic netting(like eggcrate, but with MUCH smaller holes) and place it over the coral then rubberband that netting to the rock. after about 2-4 days it will be attached. take off the netting and put the coral wherever you want it.

You can use the netting that a bag of oranges comes in to let it attach itself.
