![]() lol not in my case, I went to move my red monti the other day to "change things up"... cant get it off, I ended up braking it
![]() ... wait I forgot mines on acrylic :P this could make a difference!!! ![]() if you had some way of roughing up the surface of the glass you wanted it on, thats what I did to the acrylic on my overflow, this probably is why I cant get it off!

![]() Ok, I'm not going to be defeated but this darn putty. I've decided to try and stick it to a suction cup, THEN stick it to the glass that way.
Wish me luck! |

![]() I have fairly good luck sticking sps frag on the overflow with milliput. should work for glass as well, probably sticks better with coraline algae growing on the glass.

![]() I've never tried using epoxy putty to stick a frag to glass, but this technique works 100% of the time in attaching frags to rock.
Dry off the base of the frag and apply a large glob of gel super glue (no need for brand names - only $1 at my local dollar store). Place your ball of epoxy in the super glue and put some more glue on top of the epoxy making a superglue/epoxy/superglue sandwich. Place your frag where you want it mounted and press down to flatten out the epoxy and superglue onto both surfaces. The superglue sticks very well to the epoxy and sets quickly. As soon as the epoxy sets, you should have a strong bond. I've tried just epoxy or just superglue and they don't hold compared to combining them |

![]() The epoxy putty is 'decent' for rough surfaces but requires time to cure. It would be useless on glass, especially if done while the tank is wet, you could *maybe* get it to work while dry. As much as the adhesive methods say they can be done in water it only sorta works. The method listed above is pretty much the best you'll get until the frag encrusts the base.
