Hello,

I need to frag a couple of acros ASAP and cannot wait to have anything shipped to me...is there anything I can buy at the hardware store or Home Depot to mount them which is safe for SPS??

Super glue gel at the Dollar store.

I have used super glue gel before and it doesnt seem to stick too well. Maybe Im doing it wrong, does the coral base and the rock have to be dry?

Dry rock with paper towel, put on glue, dab base of frag on paper towel and apply, I keep a cup of salt water handy to dip it in. Helps it cure faster.

Krazy glue works well for me and it can be used on wet surfaces. I put some of the glue on the base of the frag and hold it under water until it forms a skin. I then add more glue on top of that and hold under water. I keep adding glue and holding under water to form a skin around the bubble of glue until the bubble of glue is the size I think is necessary to hold the frag.

I can then mount the frag to any surface under water by pushing it into place and twisting to "pop" the bubble of glue. Hold the frag in place for a few seconds and usually the frag will stay in place. The glue will then harden under water. This has worked pretty well for me.
