Glue tactics

[AspiringLobophyllia 259]

How do you guys superglue SPS frags in your tank? I feel like there has to be a better way than putting a dot of glue on the base and standing there for 5 minutes with hand in tank supporting it waiting for it to cure

I typically used crazy glue gel. It cures in a few seconds

I use super glue gel.
Take the plugs and put in some sort of rack or holder outside of the aquarium. Put a blob of super glue about the size of a pea in the center of the plug.  Let set up for a few minutes.  Then take frag and push into the glue and give a little twist.  Let sit for a couple more minutes.  Then. Put into tank in low flow area for a few more minutes.  Most coral will be ok out of water for a little bit with no issues.  Some reefs have hours of low tide exposure. You just need enough time for a skin to form with the glue.  That how I learned to do it and it works every time.

The pros use epoxy.  I haven't been able to figure it out and still do what you describe, which sucks, especially with larger branch frags

The (pros) use epoxy yes. But, they are also still using super glue.  The epoxy is just to give a wider base for the larger, and or branched frags. More or less it’s a formed around the base upside down frag plug. Then they glue that to a plug or a tile.   I’ve split a few of them apart and that is what I’ve found.  They have all had glue under the epoxy.
