zoox Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I just bought this stuff, the guy at the LFS told me its what they use for all their stuff. It's called Coraffix. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=c...ved=0CC4Q8wIwAw There's a good post from Stevie T on the forums about how to glue frags: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=148730 Hope that helps.

Builder Anthony Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 when you add the frag back to your tank with wet glue hold it upsidedown so the bubbles go onto the frag plug and not your coral.When you pop it in water you will see those bubbles Link to comment
igotreefermadness Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah anything with cyanoacrylite as the active ingredient is the good stuff. It MUST be gel, liquid stuff is worthless. Dont be afraid to hold the coral out of water for a minute or so to let the glue set up, it wont hurt em. Link to comment
