So these non reef specific glues are safe? they will not leech anything yucky into the water? Do you wait until it dries before putting it into the tank?

Oo maybe Ill have to try it out with my next frags... But its only the gel stuff right? so it stays put when it hits the water... hmmm
Rather then ending up with chunks of ugly pink epoxy all over my rock work....

yeah gel is the one you want, nice thing about it is after a few weeks its covered with algae and you dont even know its there. Epoxy is still good for things like sps, but if you can get them to stick long enough with gel glue, like i do, they just encrust themselves to the rock anyway

any 100% cyanoacrylate glue will work. I use the gorilla superglue at walmart. Loctite will work too

That loctite gel is the best under storage too. It is the first tube or bottle of Super anything that didn't dry up before it was all used which makes it the best value too.

+1 on storage. Lasts for months without gumming up the tip.
