What do you use to attach frags/arogonite plugs to live rock?

I use super glue gel for most flat surfaces. If the LR has deep crevices, I use a 2-part epoxy like Aquamend to permanently hold the frag plugs

IC-gel by BSI at Hobby Town USA. Best super glue gel that I read on this forum. The tube does not dry out like the little tubes and you get .7 oz. vs. .07 of the super glue. It even dries under water but I never tried it.

New Frag Gel from Just Coral. It is almost tooth paste thick and will glue frags underwater in your tank with little problem. Just started using it and it's awesome. :thumbsup:

Does IC gel work under water? shure does just put a good size bubble of gel on your frag or what ever your going to glue once you set frag in water the outer layer dryes ,when you set it on L.R just kind of smear or rub gel you put on the frag to your rock once bubble of gel is smeared where you whant it hold it for couple of seconds and whalla your done.

"Ethyl Cyanoacylate"

I'm amazed that something with a name like this can be reef safe given all of the things in this hobby that aren't.

yes :D, but most likely it is.. I use auqaconnect's "marinstick" best superglue locally available, strong, quick to harden and 100% reef safe..It's based on same substance

any cyanoacrylate glue will work as long as its the gel form. I just use superglue gel from home depot. Its made from the same stuff as ic gel.

But not as thick. Try both and you will see the difference. I guess the IC gel and the Frag Glue from JustCoral are similar stuff. My local Hobby Town USA doesn't carry the IC gel.
