needing glue...
Does anyone LOCAL have a little extra glue? We are out, and need to glue a few things into place, I am having to pick them up everyday from the hermit crabs and water movement. i have needed glue for about 2 weeks...and I am growing impatient  It doesnt seem to have come in at OTP yet, and when it does we will probably buy a few bottles so that we do not run into this problem again. Willing to pay for whatever fraction is left of your glue...thanks...and sorry for the ~weird request~
LOCAL-LaCrosse,Coon Valley, Chaseburg, Westby...anywhere that is sort of close to Coon Valley...

I have some, but you can easily use "superglue" from HD or Menards, the gel/thicker stuff is what you need though. I usually use the Menards stuff, but got some from OTP a month ago that works great. Don't bust yourself if you can't get "reef" glue. Do glue things & let them cure in a different container of water, it drives you skimmer crazy

Yup, use super glue all the time for my stuff. I've heard to look for stuff with cyanoacrylate in it but that seems to be all of them.

the cyanoacrylate (sp) is pretty much all super glue.

I use crazy glue and spray it with an ecellerater that dries it instantly(get it from a hobbie store).

I didn't know you could use crazy glue either... Nor did I think you could use the accel. spray. I used to use it when I worked for Beyer Cabinets to do some touch-up work and the stuff is incredible. When you spray the accel. to the crazy glue do you dip the piece into a separate container to get the remaining accel. off of the coral? Or can it go directly back into the tank?
btw I've always just glued my pieces and put them back into the tank. I have never noticed a difference with my skimmer (although I've never gone down the basement to check it at that time either so who knows maybe it does affect it).

no affect if you have 468 gallons of water total, and a HUGE skimmer downstairs  that overflows into a 5g bucket |

What's your point? lol I don't see what you are trying to get at =) *and it's only about 250 gallons of TWV (less if you subtract off my rock) *if you took that out of the equasion I bet I only have about 160-175 gallons* (makes it sound so much more compact) From now on I have a 160 gallon setup =)
But, seriously... The next time I glue something (tomorrow morning after I frag that big new acro I got from the order I will check to see if I have any difference in the skimmer other than from my hand being in the water).
