"Notme" and "Idonno" have struck again. Pretty sure it was "Idonno" as "Notme" probably would have glued his nostrils shut with it.

My frag glue is AWOL. :( I'm pretty sure it is supposed to go glue/epoxy/glue . . . Right? Grrr. I do have head cement (for fishing flies). Could I use that? It isn't very thick, with the exception of the UV stuff that glows bright yellow.

Moderate flow, moderate light, and very high nutrients. I have a monti cap that grows very well in the system, too. My pink birdsnest is doing all right, while I have two other SPS that aren't doing very well.

Lovely :) I'll just bring some cash and browse your frag tank. :lol: I have stuff to pick up from Greg, too.

just use the gel by its self , if your using plugs drop a healthy amount on and stand the frag in it , if you pour a few drops of water over it it will cure faster;)

use eggcrate to hold your plug while it dries out of water, sprinkle water on it every few mins to keep it from drying out:)

i only use glue for eveything i find epoxy does nothing that glue by its self wont do;)

It isn't ideal. That's why I'm building my contest tank. :)

My display system is heavily stocked, and is more of an LPS and softie system.

Ou. I know softies do like a bit dirty water but does LPS likes nutrients too? Because my system has undetectable nitrate, thanks to the chaeto that I have put in a AC110 and that thing is sucking up nitrate real fast. My API never register any nitrate in the system. And I feed my fishes like 4/5 times a day (they tend to skip the later meals tough :P).

BTW sorry to hijack the thread :$

All of my LPS are spot fed. There is a lot of meaty food going into my display system, which increases the nutrient level. They aren't as sensitive to the high nutrients as SPS are.
