Haha, well I'll stop and pick up some crazy glue gel after work then

Yea he is cute, but yesterday, he wasn't gettin any love from me

Lynn, They have tiny rocks already attached to them, they're just too light to stay put anywhere, so hopefully some glue will do the trick

Should be fine then. That is by far the easiest way. Let them attach themselves to little rocks then glue the little rocks to bigger rocks.
You should be set

Well, I picked up some "reef glue" and let me tell you... it is IMPOSSIBLE to use effectively underwater. The rock i'm trying to glue to is one that is part of the "foundation" and there's no way it's coming out. Needless to say, it all just got me really frustrated, and now my rics are all stressed. Any other suggestions?

Are your rics already on a small piece?

Andy
try epoxy rather than the super glue gel
something like the link I put in the second post.
Your LFS should have some.

Well, I guess i'll be trying the epoxy, but i'll try the reef glue again tonight. It's so incredibly frustrating because i can't use two hands, and the glue doesn't stick once you take it under water. Plus the rocks on the frags are so small it's crazy... maybe i'll just glue more little rocks to the attached rock to make it heavier

who knows...
