    Is this glue safe?

    Is the Loctite Super Glue Gel safe to use in my tank? I plan on plugging the hole from my Fluval Evo 13.5 that goes to the 2nd chamber and want to make sure i'm positive its safe to use. The only ingredients I can see is Cyanoacrylate.

    Bulk Reef Supply Super Glue Caps

    I’ve had the bulk reef supply super glue bottle for a pretty long time and the glue itself doesn’t go bad on it. It’s the cap itself that just gets glued on over time. I couldn’t find the cap on BRS, but I found it on another website. I’m sure the website also has the bottle itself for cheap if...

    Modifying a 5.5 gallon lid

    I have a 5.5 gallon acrylic bow front that came with a plastic lid with a built in light. The light is just way too bright for any fish to be in there comfortably so rather than trying to find a different lid, I would like to cut a window into the top of the lid and install a piece of clear...

    Bulk Reef Supply glue came in liquid form. How can I solidify it?

    This has happened twice now to two glue orders from @Bulk Reef Supply . It was extremely liquidly, unlike the usual gel form it's in. Does anyone happen to know how to get it back to the gel state (I already tried shaking for a short bit and that doesn't do anything)? Heat it? Freeze it? Shake...

    To use the flag plug in the reef or not?

    Hi Experts, the frag plugs are good in placing/holding the frags in place on the rocks in the tank but in many cases it doesn't enhance the beauty of corals growing naturally on those rocks (this is my personal view only). Is it a good or bad practice to always remove the frag from the plug and...

    Glue Accelerator Tip

    I don’t really like the spray bottle the super glue accelerator comes in and wanted to be able to apply the accelerator directly to the glue joint. I know the accelerator is “safe”, however I would prefer to keep as much off the coral tissue as possible. It finally dawned on me to try a glass...
