Coral Glue
Is there a good reef glue that will work underwater? If so which one? I need glue right away, and the rock i want to glue the frags on is pretty much unmovable. What do you guys suggest?

ecotech cg coral glue....its way beter than loctite or any other superglue or gel you get at the home hardware store.
blows taylor aquatics out of the water too... you can glue right under water with it and after a few seconds, its moldable to the rocks. i glue large corals and rocks upside down with it and it holds great. hands down the best glue i use and am currently using. im on my 8th bottle of the 295ml bottle.

I agree the loctite gel is good but doing the math I found out it's much more cost effective to use Ecotech Coral Glue
Loctite $5-6 for 4ml Coral Glue $22 for 75ml, or $55 for 295ml It works very well, as long as you give the rock a quick brush first I tried the Boston Aquatics stuff, but it doesn't work very well under water

i also have the BA stuff but like loctite and gorilla or taylor they all suck in the water and only good for out of water fragging. i ran a bead of coral glue right across the back of my glass to show a friend how well it worked, my glass was full of film algae...i grabeed 4 or 5 frags and stuck them on and also a large rock. we went to his house and when i got home all were still there, i actually just picked the last frag off last week lol wicked stuff!

Or instead of $4 at the hardware store, Thick Gel Super Glue at the dollar store.
If I buy some with an order, its always ZapGel from MOPS
