i just use superglue gel and pre drill the rock before attaching it i don't acclimated my coral because i get them from fellow hobbyist using 400 or 250 metal halide and i have both

 

[sir mixxalot]

so you drilled all the rock before you built the reef? or do you drill the rock as you go along?

i drill the rock as i go along. all of my acroporas are on top so its easier to remove and drill.when i get my 450 i will pre drill all the rocks .

 

[sir mixxalot]

what size bit do you use?

 

[bullitr]

go to 99 cents store .i get the biggest drill bit they have/ the same diameter as frag plug and for 99 cent so i do not worry of it rusting. also the have 2 superglue gel for 99cents

That reminds me I have glue some frags in I bought last week. I love to go buy frags but then so lazy to find a spot and glue them to it

How can people get all of these things, well I guess when you have a tank that big you can.
