2 part epoxy

[leveldrummer]

some of my frags keep getting knocked around, so i got some 2 part epoxy, but the lfs guy mentioned that some people loose sps frags when they use this stuff, has anyone had this problem before? is this something i should worry about? the type i have is marineland hold fast. is this ok to mount frags with?

it gets hot as it cures can burn the coral sometimes.

Just like crazy glue.......it will typically kill any part of the coral it touches........but a small price to pay for making it not move IMO.

However........i have never lost a coral becasue of it and have used it lots

thanks guys, ill give it a shot, just a couple frags if i loose anything i guess.

I perfer crazy glue gel.Epoxy does hold as good.

[Fly Guy]

For small stuff i agree.....crazy glue is the best option........but for anything of any size crazy glue wont cut it

[Casey]

Neither one of them work great someone needs to invent something better.

I like the holdfast better, just don't be cheap when using it mix up more and kind of overdo it. If you are placeing the frag on a rock in the tank, it is harder then if you can pull both out and tap it dry with a paper towel, also better if the rock hads a rough surface to it with little holes and the like, JMO
