Recommended Posts

Hi all, I've been watching a few videos around and reading around the internet. There are people who suggested using glue to attach a LPS to your desired rock, but also people suggesting tying the coral to the rock and let it attach by itself.

May I know what would be a better way to do it as I have never done it before? and if I were to stick it to the rock using glue, what glue should I be using and where can i get them? I've read that some people use super glue, but wouldn't that be toxic?

Appreciate any kind advises!!

cheers!

Epoxy is only good for sticking live rock together... Its a nightmare trying to stick a zoo polyp to a rock with epoxy! By the time im done, the water is murky with epoxy and the polyp is damaged... And the one i had stinks of ammonia! Anyway, now i use ic-gel( thanks bro cedric for introducing and teaching me how to use it), easy to use, nontoxic, bond fast, less messy...
