Never used any of the epoxies, (only superglue when attaching small frags). Can you use this epoxy in water or do you have to remove the items? Rock I want to attach to is difficult to remove from tank.

This is what I do:

Rock > Gel Super Glue > Aquamend > Gel Super Glue > Frag

I get the Aquamend ready then puts some Gel Super Glue and attache it to the frag, hold for 60 secs.

Then I put Gel Super Glue on the other side of the Aquamend and atache it to the rock, again hold for 60 secs.

Can you use regular super glue, I'm ordering the frag kit from DR. Fosters and SMith, just wondering if I run out of that epoxy what a cheaper solution would be. I'm not a big fan of the epoxy sticks
