Glue

This isn't a very fun one but.... what type of glue will be safe to use in the tank??? I am trying to mount a magnetic powerhead holder with my seio pumps...if I am not mistaken, you have to glue the magnet to the bracket to get it to stay?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

super-glue works great for stuff like that. I would recommend the gel type though, its a little easier to use plus you can mount coral frags with it.

Thanks lvpd186. I have used super-glue brand before but didn't know if there was anything else. That will have to do.

You can also epoxy it. Aquastick brand comes to mind.

im confused about glue talk. I know its standard practice. Just always seemed like superglue or epoxy would be toxic for the tank?

makes my skimmer go nuts, no ill effects on the tank inhabitants. I use Loctite Super Glue Gel, and will continue to use, as it's proven success for me....
