I have some new sps to attach. Will any 2 part epoxy work or do I need something special? I have some that says it is good for potable water. Thoughts?

I use AquaMend from Home Depot. Last I checked it was $2.99 and is in the paint department.

I use Aquamend also. Great stuff for 1/3-1/4 of LFS prices.

I agree with Mike on the aquamend.  However IMO thick or gel super glue is much easier to use...

I've tried the superglue gel and it works great for me when the coral and rock are mostly dry. I just don't get good results using it under water. I've heard other people have similar problems with epoxy. I guess it is just what you get used to.
