Do you guys get Milliput over there. It's a two part adhesive that is like two peices of soft clay ..... mix them together and it sets like rock. Great for fragging and completely reef safe.

Will krazy glue work? Or should I get some of the gel type stuff? I really don't want to go to the store to get the gel stuff, so thats why I'm wondering if krazy glue will work.

Yep the super glue gel ONLY, we also have a few Epoxies like Milliput sold under various names, that is reef safe it's just about 3x as much as the Super Glue Gel but for large pieces it would work better.
