    I use the cheap stuff. And it works great. Save your money for more coral.

    I found the gel to be easier to use.

    Yes you can, but, that usually means a toothpick is involved. I've done it when fragging kenya and xenia. It really depends on what you are fragging.

    I've used both. It will depend on the size of the stalk. And it is very hard to stab. Smaller frags I'd use glue. Larger I'd use those plastic swords from a bar. You know the little ones that you get with a bloody mary that holds the asparagus "yummy". If you use toothpicks you'll want to keep an eye on it, so, it doesn't rot.(the toothpick)

    Or you can use a needle and thread and "sew" it to the plug or rock like I do. I have found that this is the fastest way to get most leathers to attach.
