I'm curious to know what you guys use to apply coral to rocks?  I've tried several different coral glue so far, last attempt was super glue gel accuracy.  I had about a 50% success with coral staying where I wanted.  I have very little experience gluing coral down.  So if a few of you could outline your process, I would appreciate it.

I put a dab where I want the frag then a dab on the frag. I then rub/ twist the two together until the they start to bond and there is string of glue when you pull away. I then hold it there until it doesn't move. 100% success that way. I use super glue gel from the dollar store.

+1 to dollar store glue!!!
Get the super glue gel ,2 tubes for a buck. Cover half the base of coral with glue , touch rock whery ou want it , remove wait 10-20 sec add 1-2 drops of glue to coral again and set in place. By doing it twice act like a catalist and sets the reaction off . Super strong with out a glue ring around ur coral. A side note never dispense glue above ur tank, had a drop fall and fish thought it was food and tried to eat it !!!!!

How well does gorilla glue work for cementing pieces of rock together? Whats the best way like for torches and frogspawn and hammers? 
Vipers look cool at a distant, but be careful of the bite..its a killer!



Still to many cool stuff not enough money
