Best way to secure frags to rock?
How can I secure frags to a rock without taking the rock out of the tank. I really don't like stirring up the sand bed or moving pieces with corals already on them in and out of the tank to super glue them.
And if i do use superglue and put it on, say, a zoo and then try to quickly put it in place in the tank, the glue dries too quickly to adhese to the rock. Is there a better type of adhesive other than super glue gel that will do the trick for me? so that it won't dry immediately when put in water and will stick to the rock better... |

That's funny. I've always used IC gel super glue and it never dries out before I get the frag onto a rock in the DT. Sometimes i would let the glue skin over before I attatch the frag to the rock. You just have to hold the frag and wiggle it around and gently lift up and down slightly to form a 'web" with the glue so that way it sticks better to the rock. Hope that hellps
