I tried the expensive brands of superglue and aquarium specific epoxy putties, but i can give you a cheap alternative that works perfectly. Get yourself some PC Marine Epoxy Putty from Rona at about $9 and a cheap tube of super glue gel from the dollar store (the local one has Titan brand).

I read about this on Reef Central and can say it has worked form me every time. Mix up your epoxy putty (PC Marine Putty is green on the outside and white on the inside and is one uniform colour when you knead it) and roll a small ball about the size of a pea. Dry the bottom of your frag or plug and put a drop of superglue on the bottom. Put your ball of epoxy on the drop of superglue and then put another drop on top of the epoxy.

Push the whole thing down where ever you want it mounted - liverock, glass or overflow. The superglue sticks to both the epoxy and to the rock and is very strong once everything cures - it will support horzontally mounted frags.

This works much better than superglue or epoxy alone.
