How do you stick your corals??
I been using the Aquascape 2 part putty, but its getting expensive. Is there anything else I can use? Anyone use some other kind of putty?

Super glue gel! The key ingredient is cyanoacrolate (not sure of spelling!). Be sure to get gel and not the liquid though.

Super glue gel or Use the aquamend epoxy at home depot, much cheaper than the aquarium version , and it is exactly the same.

+1 on the gel. it binds better and is easier to use than the liquid.

Gel here too. It is easy to use and a little dab will do it.
Just a little twist to set and hold for 30 seconds.

THe problem is I cant pull the rocks out of the tank. So I need to use something like putty. I will look into the aquamend. The LFS stuff is very expensive.

Why would you need to pull the rocks out?
Super Glue Gel attaches fine under water... just put the glue on the frag outside the water, then stick it in place.

It will gel over at the surface of the glue thats why you give it a little twist. Trust. it works
