Help! attaching LPS to rock

[anothermix]

Hi all, I've been watching a few videos around and reading around the internet. There are people who suggested using glue to attach a LPS to your desired rock, but also people suggesting tying the coral to the rock and let it attach by itself.

May I know what would be a better way to do it as I have never done it before? and if I were to stick it to the rock using glue, what glue should I be using and where can i get them? I've read that some people use super glue, but wouldn't that be toxic?

Appreciate any kind advises!!

cheers!

The fastest way is BSI gel.safe and non toxic.no adverse effect on water perimeter.

Super glue is safe. Always get the gel. For heavier things I use the epoxy that comes in a stick. You cut a piece off and mix it with your fingers then stick.

Do u mean the normal super glue gel?

[vtecintegra]

Yes, super glue gel is the most common glue used. The liquid is too thin and runny. For bigger things, there is underwater epoxy.

Epoxy is only good for sticking live rock together... Its a nightmare trying to stick a zoo polyp to a rock with epoxy! By the time im done, the water is murky with epoxy and the polyp is damaged... And the one i had stinks of ammonia! Anyway, now i use ic-gel( thanks bro cedric for introducing and teaching me how to use it), easy to use, nontoxic, bond fast, less messy...
