How to attach frags ?

[Antman]

hello all , I have a 24G nano with lots of live rock - when I add a coral frag attached to rubble or disc my snails knock them over
What is the best way to attach the frag rocks to my live rock so they dont fall into the sand and get stressed out ?

Super Glue Gel, Aquarium Safe 2 part epoxy and/or a combination of both.

I dont know for sure if it is. I would just spend the extra few bucks for something you know is safe. It isnt worth risking your whole tank on a toxic glue.

Rector seal. Sells at home Depot. Really cheap ...
Reef Safe too.

I GUARRENTEE that one is safe. I use it all the time. The Dollar stare sells three packs of it so I buy a bunch and refill my Oceans Wonders bottle.

Yeah that would work great. Any glue that says it is Cyanoacrylate. Is reef safe.

For super glue gel just be sure that it is Cyanoacrylate. If so it is completely safe.

I've had great results with the following glue-and-epoxy-putty "sandwich" :

frag + superglue + epoxy putty + superglue + live rock

I've been using AquaMend epoxy putty for years. Your LFS might also have a formula that kneads into a light purple like coralline algae if the whiteness of the AquaMend bothers you. Just be aware that the epoxy will make your skimmer go a little nuts for a day or so.

Superglue - just dont put the cap in your mouth
