How to get sps to stick
Hi, I have a 30 gal. sps tank that has alot of small frags in it. My problem is getting them to stick to the base rock and eventually encrust. It seems that my clean up crew keeps nocking them over. I have tried the green putty stuff, but it usually just crumbles after being in the water for a while. I also have some super glue that works out of the water but its almost impossble to take some of the bigger rock peices out and put frags on them without collapsing my whole rock structure. What do you guys and gals do to get your sps to stick? Thanks.

Get a tube of super glue GEL. Put whatever you feel is enough to hold it in place. Then take the frag and hold it on the rock underwater and let it stick/get hard before letting it go.
Its worked 100% of the time for me. Be careful because u can burn the tissue, I've had only 1 incident but then again the frag wasnt doing so well either.

just use super glue in the water, put a dab of gel on the base of the frag. Dip it in water it will skin over, Then reach into tank put it where you want with a little twist to break the skin and glue open and they will mount fine.

So, it works with any type of super glue gel? The stuff that i have, I got from a model plane, car store but it has the acrylyte stuff in it, also it is more of a liquid than a gel, is that a problem? I will go ahead and try this out and get back to you guys. Thanks.

The non gel liquid is just hard to work with...it flows everywhere, including your fingers
