I have had luck with an epoxy/superglue combination, but I did use the stuff marketed for aquarium use so it was obviously overpriced. I've used the stuff from Petco/Smart and from BRS. This seems to be the best deal but idk how much you need...
I think this is the key to success, once they have finished with aiptasia move them on unless you have one like my current one that doesnt touch aiptasia lolNot gonna hop in that thread, but fwiw @tbrown3589 I've kept filefish for years in my tanks. They're fairly cheap around here, if I get them young they're usually pretty well behaved as well. I've had one who had a thing for acans, after he wiped out all visible aiptasia - I rehomed him with that warning - he went into a fowlr tank and helped clean that up at his new home. My most recent trouble maker nipped leather polyps and gorg polyps. Most of them have been great though.
I had a chocolate tang who killed my best oneshe was a b, she got rehomed for being such a bully.
I had another one who got chased during feeding and jumped through the feeding hole then mummified under the lights - I missed it because it was auto-feeder and I didn't think to look at the lighting. This was also during tang keeping times. They got a little crazy during feeding and stressed out some of my more passive fish.
Recently, my damsels teamed up to bully one into a corner and by the time I got home and realized what was happening it was too late. Not too long after, one damsel did the same thing to another. Can't wait to rehome that jerk....
Anyway, most likely, you'll be fine.
Yeah, I used the Macro-400 stuff too. I had reservations about buying it too, for the cost and the place you have to buy it from. But in the end it worked best for me without drying out my live rock. Rock needs to stay out of water for an hour for cement to set, but used wet paper towels to cover it and spray it with saltwater in a spray bottle ever so often. I did let it sit in a bin of saltwater for 24 hours before putting it back in the tank. Didn’t have any issues.
Thanks everyone i think i might have to go with the marco now gonna have to get it ordered....good to know about using the existing rock. Did you see any spikes in nutrients with it being out of the tank for 24hrs?
You could do a little at a time so it’s not all out of the water at the same time. May take longer to do but would be safer for nutrient spikes
That's what I'm hoping for!Not gonna hop in that thread, but fwiw @tbrown3589 I've kept filefish for years in my tanks.

Just a little humor to start the day! Hope everyone has a great weekend. Today is t ball then dropping the kids off at the g parents we can have sushi and empty house for the evening. Awwwww yeeeeaahhh!
I used Marco 400. It was during cycle and didn't test. Accidentally broke a rock at joint other week, super glued it back. My fault holding a small pebble and lifting a boulder.
There is only one place in Indiana I will eat sushi and it’s a bit of a drive but totally worth it. We haven’t been there in years though, so I’m hoping it’s still good.
You know Pooh Bear is always looking for a small smakerel of honey...so not a good way to diet lol! Had no idea about sushi...just wow!There is only one place in Indiana I will eat sushi and it’s a bit of a drive but totally worth it. We haven’t been there in years though, so I’m hoping it’s still good.
I’m going to ignore the rest of your post.
My kids love to quote pooh… “I wasn’t going to eat it… I was just going to taste it”
The world is a changing place, some of it is incredible. I saw this on the news the other day, its going to change the life of many
agreed. just awesome what we will see in the next 20 years!
