Frag and snails...

[dylan ringwood]

Every time I out my frag down on a spot I like on my LR a snail or hermit tends to knock it off 20 min later..

Use super glue gel and glue where you want it.

Really? It will hold even though it's soaked

Sure will. Can also find reef glue at lfs.

1st attempt of reef glue no good. Do you have to apply alot? I mean it's rock..

The problem with using just the super glue is it starts to harden as it hits the water. I glue the frag to a ball of epoxy and the stick the epoxy where I want it

Yes superglue gel will form a skin when wet. I use a small to med blob of gel on the frag and press it into place and give it a twist. This breaks the skin and releases some glue onto the rock, then I use a tooth pick or something similar to spread the excess glue onto the rock by wraping and pressing it down. If you can take the rock out, place a small blob of glue on the rock then place a small amount on the frag and press into place.

This is the best way, if you can get the rock out.

I try not to use epoxy unless I absolutely need to. It's infuriating sometimes when you can't get it to stick how you want it, and end up causing a big mess. I may just suck at it though...

I gotta log on a cpu to see those pics but I may have found a good spot for them. Thanks for all the help
