Super Glue Gel, putty or something else?

[goma]

What does everyone use for gluing frags or corals to rock work? I know super glue gel works well, but is anyone using any of the putty's that are available? If so, which one and how well does it word?

The reason I'm asking is I have used Instant Ocean Holdfast and it really hasn't worked well.

I use ecotech coral glue works great!

I don't know about the putties from my own experience, but I've heard good things about the TLF Aqua-Sticks. Here's a link:

Two Little Fishies Aquastik

This is the link for the stone grey color. They also have a coraline red color as well.

I have some Ocean Wonders Reef Epoxy which I'm less than enthused about. It seems to stick to me better than the rockwork or coral base. I may have to try some of the above.

I use the Two Little Fishies Aquastik and like it, you can also mix it with Super glue gel, if needed.

I'm a super glue gel guy. Just gotta b a little slow going to give it time to set up.

I like the ecotech coral glue also.

It sets quicker than super glue gel, and I'm 3/4 through my first bottle and still using it...not dried up and useless. I've left it out with the cap off overnight (I'm ashamed to say twice).

I've found the trick for me, with all of these gels is to smear it around a little where the frag and the rock meet, you have to break the skin that forms as soon as the glue hits the water.

Nice, that's a great tip. Thanks!
