HELP glueing corals down

[tonynader]

i have corals waiting to be glued down to rock. I bought special super glue from the LFS and was wondering what the best way to get these down securely?

 

[loopy101]

it depends what kind of soft corals are we going to be attaching?

+1 depends on the type of coral. Next time don't be caught buying the expensive special glue. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get regular Super Glue Gel. Best stuff IMO.

Personally...I will not use anything not sold for fish tanks. There is just too much money involved to go cheap on glue. For example, The wrong toxin could kill the whole tank, and it could take up to a year to show the problem.
You don't know how any chemical is going to react with the corrosion of saltwater over time. At the very least look at reef safe glue and compare ingredients. If they are exactly the same, fine, otherwise I wouldn't use it.

ya thats what i thought was the right idea for gluing them. I didnt know what other chemicals were in the others and didnt wanna risk it. i just wanted to glue down some zoos and other small polyps. Nothing heavy or very big

Super glue gel is safe. I have used it for 4 yrs and I know of a lot of people who use it.
