Recommended live rock glue or epoxy?

The tunze stuff dries like a rock in about 60 seconds. A pain in the a$$ to use for fragging corals, but awesome for putting together rock scapes. 

 

cyanoacrylate is cyanoacrylate. I prefer gel to the water-thin stuff.

I didn't know about Tunze Coral Gum, how cool! It seems so much easier to work with, thanks for the tip @HarryPotter!

 

It’s super easy to work with! That’s how I made all the structures in the 300 gallon. It also doesn’t smell or stick to your fingers, which is AWESOME compared to other brands.

Just don’t mix it before you’re ready to use. At the beginning I tried to mix larger amounts, but by the time I put the first glob and squished it in to my rock, the second glob was too hard. So just mix small amounts, you can’t “prepare” a bunch at once like with other epoxies. 

 

Also, like all epoxy, it’s best to apply superglue where it contacts the rock. The epoxy serves as a structural component, but still needs superglue for optimal adhesion.
