What glue do you use?

[the_fish_man]

I was wondering what brand glue everybody uses to make frags. I use duro super glue and it works great! How about you guys?

I use glue that I get from Keys Island. That is really the only glue I have ever used, think aquafart sells the same same kind.

I think maxicure is the name

i have used several different types ranging from the cheaper dollar store brand to Boston aqua farms and for durability i choose the Boston aqua farms. the cheap stuff seemed to only make two or three frags and the tube would be empty and a week or two the frag would come unglued.

i use ecotech coral glue

it's much better than other glue i have used.....because i dont have to hold the frag for 1 min

To make them? none.

Maxi-cure, but I get it at hobby shops. Like Colpar Hobbies. They usually have it for less than the LFS. I have heard good things about EcoTech's new glue, but haven't used it.

I do wish that ecotech glue came in a smaller pac. I would never use that much for my small tank.

I'm using loctite gel right now. So far I like it, it works great for sticking stuff to rocks. Give plenty of time to get it in the water and stuck with out getting all over the place.

I have boston aquafarms, but it is a bit runny for me, since I'm always gluing things to rocks in the tank. I'm sure it works great for gluing frags to plugs though. I use loctite and put a layer on both sides of epoxy putty, ram it in, hold for 30s. Glue 10 one week, re-glue 3, next week, then 1, then 1 then 1, then maybe eventually they hold! Seems to be the exact same story no matter what brand of glue. Doesnt help that my urchin picks up frags and carries them all over the tank.


Edit - Ok I guess I take it back. I'm out of loctite and have been using the BAF stuff all night and at second look, i'm pretty sure it goes a lot farther per dollar than the loctite, and has been working well. Also the tube doesn't clog as much.
