What Glue to Use?

Can I use "Loctite Super Glue Gel Control" to glue my Corals down on the rockwork or do I need to get something specific? I did buy a Instant Ocean Epoxy Stick to use on my Live Rock eventually. Moving in a few months so I thought I'd wait until then to epoxy it down.

Is there anything specific I need to do? I know I need to pull it out of the water for a few seconds to glue it then place it back in. Is that all there is to it?

Thanks

Yes any brand of super glue gel works fine. There are tons of videos that show how to do it if you want to see it done before doing it. Oh and when you use the epoxy putty you can use a dab I'd super glue then the putty then another dab of glue to help adhesion.

I used to use the Loctite super glue gel, but got tired of constantly running out of it... Then discovered Ecotech Coral Glue. You get much more for the money.
