Glueing Rocks

[niger12]

I need to attach a small piece of rock to my existing rosk to create a shelf. It will set inplace but is not real stable. I have tried the coral epoxy and it did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions.

I've seen LR help in place with plastic ties...like the ones used to secure wire harnesses. Maybe that would work in your situation.

Thanks NM but with the the way the rocks are already in the tank that won't work.

Did you try super glue gel? Enough and that stuff will hold about anything.

The rocks that I need to attach this to can't be removed from the tank. Can you apply super glue under water and let cure with a fully stocked tank. Actually over stocked LOL

:cheer: there is a product called marine pc7 , a 2 part expoxy
used underwater. I understand its non toxic. Also those 2 part expoxy stick sold in most lfs or on line .
You most mix equal or will not work

you can use quicktite superglue gel underwater in a stocked reef. i have and it worked. not sure on rocks if they are heavy but it worked on my corals.
