Different coral glues

[Nwest]

What is everyone's favorite coral glue. Do you like the BSI or the ecotech glue better? Or do you use something else without problems....

 

[nvladik]

BSI, Ecotech is way too expensive if you ask me.

I use super glue gel from the dollar store. Never had any problems using it. You can get two tubes for $1.

I love the BSI

 

[Ted_C]

a Combo of BSI and Waterweld is all I have used.

 

[CrazyEyes]

I use a mix of whatever cheap superglue gel I can find and waterweld.

BSI, Ecotech is way too expensive if you ask me.

Based upon both company's MSRP;

BSI IC-Gel .7 oz (20.7015 ml) @ $6.99 = $0.3376/ml
EcoTech Cg 30 ml (1.01442 oz.) @ $9.95 = $0.3316/ml

They are both fairly comparable price in the two mentioned sizes.

If more volume is needed;

BSI no size larger size offered.
EcoTech Cg 295ml @ $49.95 = $0.1693/ml

Ic gel all the way for me. Comes with extra nozzles and I never end up with any waste.

Funny this subject just came up. I've been buying the big eco-tech bottles for years and its always worked good for the sticks. I tried the BRS and like the eco-tech better. Just the other night I decided to try a tube of the BSI on like 5 sticks and so far I really like it, I was actually very surprised at how well the sticks stayed upright right away. It could be a time saver for me for sure. I'm going to try it again tonight see how it does. The eco-tech is cheaper though in the big bottle so not sure what to do yet. For the encrusting montis and zoas I use the E-z bond thick viscosity 1500 cps not has thick as gel but cheaper at 16 oz $28.00 from exotic blanks.

I'm going to try some of that dollar store gel soon.

Dollar store gel works great ! Easy for smaller application to!

IC here as well. Those extra nozzles come in handy.

Stupid question...

Normal glue from the store is not toxic for the water?

Or gel glue is another type of glue?

Normal glue will separate at the surface gel stay consistent and will stay in place when submerged.
I believe it's still has the same ingredients

 

[Broly_PT]

no toxic? reef safe?

 

[clearwatereefer]

I use the gel from the dollar store and it's safe.
