  • coral glue putty stuff is crap

    The green tube of stuff they sell at the LFS is in my experience worthless.

    I used it on 6 corals and all but one has fallen out.
    I have resorted to just sticking the bases into holes in my live rock and the ones that are wedged in stay but i must say i was very unhappy.
    Could use a dash of salt......

    120 gallon Fahaka, Gar, Catfish, 2 dwarf graumi, 2 cichlid

    30 gallon salt

    10 gallon baby cichlid

          Seems only one of the pulsing xenia is gonna make it. The trees look like they are doing fine. as well as the mushroom

            All glues are fairly useless on softies like Xenia as they slime up and won't stick to anything, best thing you can do is find the lowest flow area of your tank, where they won't get blown away.put a little cup with some rubble in it and wait for them to attach themselves!

              Also, try growing your Xenia on the glass, that way when it comes to fragging and selling (if Xenia is happy, it grows like a weed and you'll be desperate to get rid of it!) You can just razor blade it off the glass and you have a nice "dry", solid foot to glue to

                something i thought would be neat would to be to put it into the tiny clay pots and grow it like a plant.
                Just a thought
