glues

What's a good glue? I've tried aquastick and it doesn't work easily. I'd like to glue the small rocks the frags are grown on to large LR under the water without taking out the larger LR (too large to take out, then glue, then put back.)

I know one of you have the magic method.

Thanks

I use loc-tite super glue gel. I take the frag out enough to glue the bottom of the frag. Only need a little bit as it's not good to get glue on the coral itself. Once u put the frag back under water the glue will skin over. Put the frag where u want it and smear the glue a bit to break the skin. Hold for a couple sec and it's good.

just about any super glue gel works, seems a lot of people use the loc-tite brand.
