Krazy Glue???


I'm about to glue some floating Zoo polyps to a small piece of rubble, and I've heard to use Krazy Glue. I was planning on putting the rock with freshly glued polyps in a bowl for 15 minutes or so. Is it really neccessary? Is Krazy Glue harmless to reef tanks?

Not sure about Krazy Glue.. but if the main compound is cyanoacrylate or something close to that (not sure about the spelling) you should be ok..

Go to GARF.org and read their study on cyanoacrylate glues. There was one that didn't work for sopme reason, think it was Crazy Glue. I've used Superglue gel and Loctite gel with good results.

Pretty much any of the "super-glues" work well, some people prefer the gel style,,,i get mine from Premium Aquatics,,they carry a "coral glue" that works well and lasts a long time,,,i've noticed , (unless you use it all at once) that the lil tubes tend to dry out, by the next time you use them,,
the stuff that Premium carries is prob plain ol super glue, but the fact that it works for me, lasts/stays "good" for a long time,and the price ($8-9, i think) is much more economical over the lil store bought tubes IMO

Oh, almost forgot,,,, from what i seen/read/heard ,super glue is fine in a tank, as soon as it holds to what you are gluing,,,you can put it in the tank , no worries,,,
