Super Glue

I have some super glue that is cyanoacrylate is this safe to use in my reef tank?

Yes. If it's not gel though you will have a hard time using it as it will be very runny.

Yeah the non gel goes everywhere BUT where you need it, I have gone through so many little bottles of the gel it's nuts.

I think what i have is the liquid stuff but hell for a buck i will try it.

I stopped at the Dollar store today Phil. Thank you for the heads up. I bought two packages of two tubes in each of superglue gel. Yea for saving money.

It's an awesome deal, and perfect for small time fragging.

Did someone say Glue? I've had good luck with mine

If you'd sell it for the same price as three bottles of gel for a buck, I'd try it.

what's the size of each gel tube?

You're gonna make me dig aren't you?

2g each. three tubes for a buck at many dollar stores.

Yup, I believe after you add all 3 tubes you are about the cost of 1 of my glue, considering price and usage. Typically you don't get everything out of each tube *lose about 20-30% usage* plus you have to use each tube every use or it will clog up the tip.

2g = .07 oz.

.21 oz. per 3 pack for $1

So $10's worth is about 2.1 oz. Mine is around $12 @ LFS for 2 oz. + no clogging and usage is about 90% compared to 70%. I'd say its just as good. Also typically when using GEL you use more to frag compared to my glue.

I've tried ocean wonders Gel 1 oz. x 2 = 2 oz.
fraggable- 60-65 frags (depending on type of frags)

Ray's Reef Glue 2 oz. Bottle
fraggable- 95-120+ frags (depending on type of frags)

I did have some of your glue Ray but it dried up on me :/

how did that happen dan?

Im not sure . I put the top back on like with all glues. That used in the pass. It did get tiped over not sure if that will do it.

I've been using your Glue for awhile Now Ray been very happy with it my tube is half gone and it's no thicker then it was when I opened it, I do make sure I clean off the tip before I put the cap on though and mine hasn't dryed out yet? one thing I have been using is Bostons Accelorator and it's bam hard in a few seconds.

I have no clue on way it would dry out. I've had mine without the cover for a few days to a week and its still all there...

Half a bottle, IceR!?! You must be fragging a bit

when you start Anchoring corals in the Main tank it goes pretty qwick.

Ray, your glue is good for under water projects too correct?

All u fraggers,,,where are all the frags coming from, the growth in ur own tanks???
WOW, this is exciting!! So u end up fragging to keep ur tank from being over grown with the fast growers???

I kinda like the mini tubes after trying the big tubes, invariably the tip on the one I had got clogged too and I was sticking pins in the side of the tube to drain glue out of. I kinda think that the bigger tubes are better for the more serious fraggers, while the tiny tubes will handle 5-6 random frags very well, and are much less hassle. Just my $0.02, and Phil, 3 for a buck at the Dollar store is the hookup - at Home Depot they're $1.77 for 2.

Yup I would recommend underwater use as well with my glue. Most people that have used my glue have converted to it, overall you get much more use without the clogging, even for the ones that don't frag much.

FYI- anytime you use it for underwater it will be more than norm, even more with Gel types.
