Poisonous Glue?

Can you use all kinds of super glue to attach frags, or are some poisonous? I attached some frags to a snail shell with Krazy Glue and have so far kept them in a separate bowl because now I'm afraid it might be poisonous to my tank. Does anyone know? I've heard of people using gel super glues, but this is more of a liquid.

Any brand of gel super glue will work. I'm not aware of any glues that are toxic to tanks.

I've never had a problem with any kind of superglue either. Most people prefer the gel over the liquid super glue because it is easier to work with while gluing frags to rocks.

I have used krazy glue many times, the reason people say use super glue gel is because it is thicker, and hence forth easier to use. As long as the active ingredient is cayanoacrylite (sp?) which it is in krazy glue, you are fine.
