I tend to use a cyanocrylate gel made by Loctite (comes in a nice dispenser) to attach frags to bits of LR rubble, then use epoxy to attach them to the rockwork in my tank. I find it interesting that several people have mentioned their skimmer going nuts after using epoxy products, but thats never happened to me. I'll have to see if I can remember what brand epoxy putty I use as I bought it over a year ago.

Don't look now Nick, but there's a big hairy spider on your shoulder....I said don't look 
Jason, IC Gel lasts quite a long time after being cracked open. That's one of the major draws to that particular brand. Stuff works great, honestly. I've bought over 40 of them now (still have 15 left ), our club has bought over 200 now and between the LFS that I've turned onto them, they've collectively gone thru 300 themselves. It works

Ok I found a Gel Glue that I have been using now since I started this thread. I'm not sure of the name brand as my LFS buys it in bulk and sells it after repacking it. Sounds Like IC Gel as it has lasted a really long time
Thanks for all the posts and suggestions

zap gel works good. but you must glue outside of the water because as soon as the water mixes with the glue, it dries instantly. I have managed to glue frags underwater, but have used way more than I should have. So it's best to use this stuff outside.
