attaching frags to rock

[bad santa]

I got a couple of frags a few weeks ago that were attached to rubble rock. I just placed them on top of my live rock or wedged them in between rocks. My turbos keep on knocking them over and moving them, I guess they think they're decorators or something. What is the best way to attach them to the rocks?

Superglue gel.................I buy a 3 pack of it @ Big Lots for .99

For glueing to large rocks I use the two part Marine expoxy from HD\Lowes. If you can remove the rocks from the tank the super glue gel works much better.

Do I need to take out the big rock and attach it when its somewhat dry? Or can I put glue on the rubble and then attach it to the rock inside the tank?

The 2-part epoxy (Aquamend from HD) will work underwater. It works like a putty.

make sure to turn off your skimmer, just used 1 whole stick in my tank and I have to dump at least 4-5 buckets of 5 gal waste water.

The epoxy will work once it cures even under water. Keep in mind though it won't hold the coral or rock in an out of balance position unless you have a considerable amount around the base. If I have to use more than just a little bit and some will be showing I like to take a small piece of LR and give the epoxy some texture and hide my finger prints. :lol:
