As the other member mentioned, cyano acrylate is what makes up super glue gel and is 100% reef safe.

I've tried them all, dollar store super glue gel, loctite and a few others.

The dollar store gel is good for a few small uses, I can get 3-5 frags per tube. however if you are gluing lots of frags you will burn through those little tubes. As for lactate it is abit pricey for how much you actually get....

I now use BRS thick gel, it lasts up to 6 months and I can mount about 60 frags from 1 bottle. $5 per bottle, now that is savings....

To make it last I use a bamboo skewer to apply instead of the nossel because once the nossel dries you lose a bunch of glue.

I have also looked at the larger tubes of superglue gel that are approximately the same size as a silicone tube and refilling my bottles.
