Is super glue toxic for my tank?

[kroch3rd]

i have been reading on how people get their corals to stay to a rock and i found that many people use super glue!? i thought super glue was toxic. well at least from the smell it seems toxic. also if it is safe to use super glue, which type is best and can you glue it underwater?
any advice will help. thanks

I use the "Goop" brand (Home Depot, Lowes, Wall Mart, etc). They come for marine, plumbing, automotive, etc.They'r all good. Exceptionally strong... and cheap.

I found that the gel type superglue works best. Your going to have to take a piece of lr and dry a spot where you are going to attach your frag and hold for 5 secs. or more if you so choose.

i checked the marine one and it says for boats not aquariums. i would have to think it has some chemicals in it, but im not sure.

I use superglue gel. You take your coral dry the bottom of it and then take your superglue gel and put it on the bottom of the coral in an icreceam cone shape. Then let the outside of the glue to harden a little bit(do not let the middle dry) then put you coral on your LR and hold it there for a little bit. That is how I glue my corals.

super glue is totally safe for attaching corals and rocks. You must take them out of the water.

I've used the superglue gel on corals.. it does work under water, you will just have to hold it in place for about 40 sec though.. outside of the water it will set in about 10 sec.....
