super glue gel
 
Just wondering what kind of super glue gel should I use when fraging soft corals. I read alot that say use gel not liquid, but never say the name or brand name? Any one know? Thanks for any help!

I bought mine at home depot. Its the krazy glue. I think any would work just as long as it is the gel type.

As long as it has cyanoacrylate in it you should be fine.

ok and this gel form, dose it dry fast too? And do I have to dry both the area's before, cause I did read somewhere you can do this all in the same tank underwater.

What kind of soft corals are you planning on fragging. some of them can be tricky (kenya trees) you may need to skewer it with a toothpick in the bottom and glue it on that way. some have a tendency to set themselves free.

I just use rubber bands for all types of soft coral except gorgonia. In my opinion they work better, are faster to use and are less expensive than super glue gel.

However I do use Krazy or Loctite brands of super glue gel.
