how to super glue frags/corals in your tank?

alright I am about to go and get the super glue gel.

but do I glue the frag/coral outside of the tank and then put it underwater where I want?

Should I let it dry some before putting it underwater?

can you superglue something right in the water?

Aqua Mend epoxy. $2.50 @ Home Depot. The super glue can get tricky since it skins over when you put it in the water. I like the epoxy better. Mix it up, put it on the frag and press it firmly where you want it.

yeah the "Skin" does give you some trouble. but I don't think I like the idea of having to mix epoxy every time I need to glue something.

super glue is quick and easy.
