Coral Placement

[taat2d]

Been adding corals to my tank. But I'm having a problem. They keep falling over, and they're not staying where I put them. I bought a tube of that green and white Marineland sh*t. I mix it up put it on the bottom of the coral and 20minutes later the coral is laying on the sand, and my skimmer is going ABSOLUTELY nutz. What do you people use to hold corals when you can't wedge them into a rock?:scratch:

IC gel, or mostly any gel based super glue. Any type of (cyanocrete) I know I botched that one, so someone can correct it, but that's the stuff that works best.

Where can I get it? Do they sell it in Home Depot?
If I ever need to move a coral how hard will it be to remove after it's glued into place?

1. Almost anywhere that sells glue.
2. Yes
3. A twist of the wrist

Unless you glue to the overflow I stuck some stuff on there and now I cannot get it off!

Make sure you get the GEL form!! I made that mistake already!

really? the "krazy glue GEL" is my least favorite so far. For some reason it's runnier than most of the other super glue gels..

I can't remember the brand name at the moment, but the cheap stuff in the blue tube works really good. It's the cheapest super glue gel they sell at lowes and i like it better than the more expensive "loctite" and "krazy" brands.
