    Smile glueing liverock together?

    Hi hobbyists,
    I have my first sps coral, the birds nest. It came attached to a piece of LR about 1"x 2". What works best for glueing this small piece of rock in place? Thanks for your help.

    Somone makes a apoxy putty that is made for marine tanks and will cure under water. Work good, I have used it!

    Good Luck,

    FWIW I have used 2 part Marine Epoxy...you can get quite a bit at Home Depot for just a couple of bux and I have used it on 3 frags at once and it has never upset my water parameters And coralline algae will grow over (even corals are growing over) the epoxy

    Scott:
    Have you tried that stuff yet? I would love to hear results on this new gel glue

    Thanks All!

    Scubadude-Is that how I should ask for the glue at Home Depot...2 part marine epoxy?

    Also, with these glues, do they cure while underwater?

    Thanks for your time.
