pulpsmack Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 There is no ONE suggestion here. First you must understand that what works for the rock may not work for the frag, and certain frags don't do well with certain adhesives. Having said that I would like to jump on the back of epoxy advocates. Marine safe epoxys such as Aquastick are very expensive, very hard to apply, and very weak regarding their bond. Their application should only be limited to affixing a couple of 1-2 pound rocks together. They claim to be useful for corals but this is not the case, unless the coral is already on a small rock and you are adhering the rock. Superglue (in gel form) is useful in some frag applications provided you perform ther procedure OUTSIDE the tank. any superglue gel will do. I suggest above all that you try to exhaust all your alternatives before using an adhesive, because there are often better methods. Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 gsp frags can be held on by a rubberband. then after about a week or two take it off and vuala it is on there. Link to comment
