handzoff Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was doing my weekly ater change and when I added the new H2O I guess the current was a little strong and one of the polyps from my zoos poped off and was floating around my tank. I got it and rubberbanded it to a rock. Is there anything else I can do? It is open and seems to be fine. coments? advice? Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 it'll eventually attach. i usually use superglue gel instead. can also try pins or toothpicks. Link to comment

handzoff Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 What kind of super glue can I use? How long does it take to dry before I can put it back in my tank? Link to comment
Sushi Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 i use Loc-Tite superglue GEL, i found it at target in the adhesives section... usually, depending on the corals, it'll take 2 weeks to attach, but even if they do attach it might not be the strongest of "attachments," so you'll still need to be careful when doing a water change, not to accidently pour too fast! what i do when i use superglue is take out the coral, dry the end that i'm going to glue (slightly dab it on a towel to remove excess water), and i just put 1 drop of superglue gel, i wait about 5 secs, then i dunk it in the water and immediately place it where i'd want it in the tank read this thread about different types of superglue/adhesives/putty that you can use to glue corals http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...ghlight=loctite Link to comment
