Default glueing frags
Is the superglue everyone talks about for glueing frags the standard 'set in 10 seconds' single part or the 2 part epoxy that takes a half an hour?I have a plate that's broken in half and needs to be fixed quickly.

the Best is the Gel Super Glue. It is advised not to use Crazy Glue

I agree, Super glue gel is the way to go. The two part apoxy works...but any part of the coral that touches it will die. Before I knew of the negative sides of the two part I used it and eventually the coral will grow over it...but super glue gel is much better for the coral.

I use superglue gel to attach frags to plugs then attach the plug to my rockwork using the 2 part epoxy.
