    yes its fine. I have superglued frags under water. Although the gel works better for under water.

    the gel works great and cures underwater. you might want to add in a few zipties to keep it sturdy while it dries.

    FYI, all of the cyanoacrylates are basically the same just different thickness. This super stuff works great on cracks on your feet, fingers etc. etc. It has been used for years by vets on animals and in secrect by doctors. It has finally received FDA approval for use on humans.

    Great stuff, will not harm your tank or fish. It is an acrylic plastic.

    Yep. If you ever have a severe cut that can literally save your life, just glue yourself back together and head to the doc.
