    I might beg to differ with you about that.

    I used gorilla glue with a ton of screws to join the plywood together on my 193g plywood epoxy reef build;) Many other guys that have built their own plywood tanks have used gorilla glue as well. Gorilla glue is 100% waterproof once dry, but I won't ever be testing that on my tank, since the water will never get there.

    But, that is not a typical aquarium use, as most folks don't build their own tanks, they just buy them.;D

    For frags, simply use a super glue gel, and if necessary, a 2 part epoxy such as aquamend. The super glue is the easiest and quickest way to attach frags, but sometimes the aquamend type epoxy helps to hold the frag where you need it while the superglue sets.
