    These two I have in my garage. Wondering if they are safe to use for fragging and other reef aquarium needs?

    One is The Original Super Glue

    the other is: Loctite Super Glue, Ultra Gel

    As long as they are cyanoacrylate they are fine. The original superglue is fine. You will need to read the ingredients on the Lok-tite.

    yep it's in the warning. Says it contains Cyanoacrylate. Thats all you have to look for?

    So anything that doesn't contain cyanoacrylate would not be safe?

    cyanoacrylate is reef safe. If it has additional additives, it may or may not be reef safe. Loctite works, not familiar with the other one.

    Loctite is reef safe. Superglue is not recommended
