Super Glue Gel ... Is it reef safe?

[Gatortailale1]

Home Depot didn't have any zap gel. Is the super glue gel reef safe?

Thanks for help.

is there any other glues that you can use for glue corals, that are sold at like lowes or hoe depot?

Gatortailale,

They work great for attaching small frags of SPS and, for the most part, I would say that they tend to be safe, if applied correctly. My only main advice, when using super glue, is to not put the glued piece instantly inside tank. Let it cure inside a small container filled with tank water for 20 mins min. I found that some glue need time to fully cure and if put directly let's say in a small tank, fish tend to be disoriented and act eradically(happened to me once, fortunately no fish was lost). Now where to get it, you can purchase it at any hobby store, etc... Hope this helps and goodluck.

Thanks all, I bought some of it at Home D. but wanted to make sure before I used it, all would be safe. I would hate to lose 1K or more of livestock over a $1 bottle of glue.

{I got a Dr. mac 10 sps frag pack Saturday and have lots to attach}

Peace

I went to Home Depot yesteraday and asked for Aquamend to glue some PVC together. They had no clue what I was talking about. What should I ask for? Zap Gel? Any id numbers I can go by? thanx

Broker,

look on atlantis aquatics or premium page. They both sell zap gel. I think zap is the same glue as super glue gel. (At least called same)
