Tailored Aquatics & Ocean wonders market a super glue as well.....it actually a better deal(a rare thing when it comes to aquarium products) than buying loctite or crazy glue.....30ml for like $15 instead of 6 or 10 ml for $7

After using Loctite superglue Gel, i found i prefer Reef Glue GEL - Oceans Wonders over it because it last me longer and it does not seal the top of the bottle after use

I actually threw my tailored aquatics in the garbage, I have always used the locktite because of there applicator. The TA tip gets covered in glue and becomes irritating to use after one application while the locktite stays nice and clean.

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.

I got the same experience with the tailored aquatics. I hate it

I have been using the Gorilla Glue brand. The applicator tip doesn't get plugged and you get twice as much as Loctite or Crazy Glue.

I've used gorilla glue before in my tank, it's a polyurethane so technically it should be inert once cured. Only issue is that it's only a mechanical bond, so doesn't do to well on smooth surfaces. I just used a locktite on a motor impeller while i wait for the replacment part from tunze. The magnet slipped off the ceramic holding the blades. So far it's worked great, and my fish are still alive!. might not need that replacment part after all...
