Frag glue

[saltwater4life]

Hey guys,
Well the 5-10 times I've fragged stuff i used loctite gel but it always dried up... If i remember right any Cyanoacrylate glue is safe? So anyways I'm looking to frag some of my sps and just wondering what do you guys use?
Thanks,
~Nick

You are correct....any cyanoacrylate gels will work!! I've tried many different types, but I think that good old super glue gel is the best!!

IC Gel from the group buy...the best!

I didn't buy enough during the last group buy, are there local stores to get this stuff or is there anyone in SJ willing to sell me a few?

Ic gel is awesome stuff, priced good too Ocean gal 2 usually has it. Just stay away from that coral affix, stuff is junk. My friend uses krazy glue gel and it never harmed his tank

Well it looks like IC Gel must be great I might have to get some of that.
So i found some SuperGlue Gel that we had laying around I've heard other people use it for fragging But it also says not recommended for bonding parts which are subject to great shock or immersion in water... I assume for frags it shouldn't be a problem but i guess we'll find out if i get time after work tonight.

have used loctite and super glue gel.

Biggest issue i have had with the gels is if i am trying to add glue and then place it on rock in my tank wet.

Glue tends to cure too quick for a good bond.

Otherwise, it has been great for me.

If you are gluing outside the tank, I like to use <a href="http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_viewi...ampaign=mdcsegooglebase2&utm_content=BA1251"> reef glue accelerator</a>, which has been very helpful.

I have to disagree with the above majority. Every bulk cyanoacrylate gel I've ever bought has turned into a very hard plastic rock before I've finished using it up. I've heard this isn't the case with the IC-Gel, but this kid has already blown enough money searching for the right stuff. I'm sticking with Super Glue Gel. I get three 2g tubes for $1 at a Dollar Store. I don't know what the group price was on IC-Gel or the g per tube - I'll let those of you who bought the stuff "do the math"...
