I have been using up Gel glue like it's cool. at $3 to $4 a pop is getting out of control. Gel is Gel correct?
So has anyone used this stuff?


gonna buy bulk. this stuff is $0.60 a tube.

I used that stuff before. Home Depot had 10 packs, then suddenly they stopped and didn't carry it anymore. So I just started using Coralaffix. I like the Reef Supply Gel one, but not worth ordering.

The woodworking stores sale the gel to. It is the same stuff as the Coral Gel but not as expensive. Even though it is more money up front, I think it lasts a lot longer and is much easier to use than the small tubes...I end up gluing my fingers together less often.

I bought a couple of those.... but the tube clogs up really fast and I was good at replacing the cap etc... By the time I used the product a second time, I couldn't get the main tube to open and had to try to force a needle down it, which made an absolute mess trying to hold the flexible body... I had to actually rip off the top to get any glue... so for me it was good for only a couple applications before it became unusable...

I like BRS bottle and now only buy from them....

those .99 cent 3 pack are just that, cheap, I get 2 maybe 3 frags done with one tube. I prefer the IC gel from the LFS, lasts forever and way more worth the $$$

Dont waste your time with the 99 cent store super glue. I used to go in and buy 10 bucks worth of super glue at a time. The lil tubes are 90 percent filled with air and you'd be lucky to make 3 frags outta one tube. Best glue is the BSI IC GEL. no air in the tube and its a lot larger. Easily make 100 frags outta one tube

I like Loctite Super Glue Gel. You can buy it at Home Depot. I love the fact that the cap always screws on and doesn't ever plug up. It's about $3.50 but worth it for me. I'm not sure how many frags can be done with it though. I use it just to glue frag plugs down that I buy into my tank. I just bought a tube of that ZAP Glue for $10...and I think it sucks. The cap got clogged the first time I used it with about 80% left...now I have to cut the entire cap off and I guess I get one more use out of it...I might go BIG :)
