 Attaching corals I don't thin we've answered this question, although its been asked several times. I need to attached some corals with rock bases to rocks in my aquarium. Obviuosly that means both rocks are already underwater. What can I use to secure them to each other? I've heard the super glue gel solution, but there's no way IMO that you can accomplish that underwater. Any solutions????  |

| Re: Attaching corals Yeah the super glue gel will work. Just dab it on the rock that has the coral on it and let it set up just a bit, then just push it against where you want it to be.

| Re: Attaching corals I would use the 2 part epoxy cements. Super glues generally work best for non porous materials.

| Re: Attaching corals Take them out of water if they are smaller rocks that can be moved. It wont hurt the rock or corals being out of water for a few mins... |
