    Default Tropicoriums coral glue.

    Trying a new glue out. We usually use two little fishes gel glue. It's thick like a paste and in a squeeze tube. On to the new. So I'm at the Trop and Bryan aka skyhigh said it' s a great glue. So what the heck I'll give it a try. It's a bit on the thinner side (liquidity) and squeezes easy. Glued a few experimental frags and its seeming to hold ok. More updates to the polyps and sps are holding down. The glue seems to bond well in the air outside of the tank. Now to try it under water!

    We use to use the $1 store glue. But the bigger 2 ounce bottles are cheaper then the little tubes. Does your Dollar General carry the bigger bottles by chance?

    Been fragging the glue for a few weeks now. The glue is to runny and does not hold well. It will not bond under water.
    We are not impressed at all sorry Tropicorium but your glue is terrible!

    Krazy glue gel from the Family Dollar, 2 lil tubes for a $1. Very thick, sets quick even under water.
