I use Loctite 404 with no issues on Softies. SPS I use Aquascape Milliput epoxy
http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/s...ct_ID=MC-DELEP

Takes a little bit to get right. I find have to press some into the rock, and then press the SPS into the epoxy. Not much luck with it sticking Monti caps yet tho. I keep breaking the caps

Any Crazy glue gel will work. Don't have to do it underwater. Dry off the frag where you're going to glue it, then put a little blob of glue on the plug. Stick the sps frag in and you're pretty much ready to stick it underwater.

Super glue gel, epoxy, fishing line, hot glue and rubber bands have all worked for me. Heres an article for you:
