Hi All, I’m wondering if any of you have used the cement for sticking Coral to Rock in a freshwater environment ?
I intend to glue some plants to the hard scape in my aquarium rather than tie them.
I currently have a huge mass of Java fern (already on wood) in the tank. I would like to attach some Anubias cuttings to other pieces of wood I have recently added.
I seem to recall that someone on the forum did this some time ago.

Yes, provided it is cyanoacrylate superglue. Be careful where you apply the glue as I've read that it can turn white under water and look unsightly if there's a blob right in full view.

Keep the plant damp by wrapping the leaves in wet paper towels while you work.

The gel type is also easier to work with
