I dont know if this is a good idea or not but has worked 3 times on corals that i couldnt get to attach. I get a small glass jar like used to preserve stuff and put my rock rubble in it with the coral. usually takes a week for the coral to grab one of the rocks. still gets light and then i take the frag out and empty the jar ( usually in the sump cause the jar will have collected some debris). anyone else use this?

Does the rock absolutely, positively have to stay in the water for the frag gluing?
the only reason I mntion this is that SG-ing in and out of water is the new definition of "nite-n-day". out of water, you can dab the spot dry on the rock, dab the base of the coral dry, use a tiny blob of SGgel so it looks nice and you can do 20 frags on a little tube, and it sticks awesomely. heh, I refuse to even fool with SG underwater anymore. I thought water was supposed to kill that stuff, but maybe skin makes it come alive again. I ended up still holding the loose coral, but my fingers were glued together ??WHAAA??? (sg falls off of glass so it absolutely sucks for trying to glue frags to glass. if they can't encrust fast to the glass they fall off)
