    i hear that super glue gels are aquarium safe, but i'm not sure if they're ALL aquarium safe.

    i attached a pic of both, has anyone ever used either of these and KNOW that they're safe?

    I've used the loctite before without issue.... Try a search on the loctite glue and I think a number of members have used it...

    +1 best bang for your buck, $1 for 2 tubes! Btw these are the same size tubes that go in that big loctite bottle so you pretty much pay $2 extra just for that bottle lol

    I use the Krazy glue. The one below that one. The gray and blue. A little cheaper. Works great.

    Would these glues be good for aquascaping?

    If so, how long do you let it cure before putting it bank in the tank?

    You need a reef epoxy to hold rock work together, super glue isn't going to cut it!

    You don't have to let super glue "cure" before it goes in the tank surprisingly...
