I like D-D or Tunze. I think they are pretty equal. I much prefer epoxy to glue though, as it's easier to get frags to stick.

I am not a fan of epoxy myself, I prefer Super Glue gel...find its just way easier to use and cures in a fraction of the time epoxy does.

I use epoxy to mount frag plugs/rocks to my live rock structures. Super glue GEL works best for mounting freshly cut frags to plugs/rocks.

+1

Apply glue to frag then dip glue end into the water, apply glue to rock,plug, whatever, then dip into water, Jam the two together and it will never come apart. I have applied super glue to spots of my LR structure in the tank and then just stuck the plug or what not to it.
I find it way easier than epoxy but thats just me.

That glue is awseome. Not just for frags but all your super glue needs

Shameless self promotion at it's best

That being said, my glue is 20grams and you can cut the bottom of the tube when the main opening clogs so you can get all the glue out.
