Do I use super glue gel to mount zoa frags that are not attached to rocks? Is it the same superglue gel at walmart? And how do i go abt gluing thiem.

I use the gel kind from Wal-Mart. All you have to do is pat dry the back of the zoa frag and the rock you are attaching it to. Next dab a little glue on the zoa frag and place it on the rock and hold for a seconds and WALLA you are now a proud owner of a mounted frag. One thing though, make sure you use gloves or some kind of protection as zoa's are toxic. Don't go sticking your fingers in your mouth without washing first!

You can use the Glue Gel underwater, but you might have trouble getting it to stick to the bottom of the zoa. I use it underwater all the time.

It can be done underwater but I found it a bit more difficult. The cold water tends to set up the glue faster so you have to be quick on positioning the frag. Dab some glue on the rock and put the frag into position and give it a little twist to spread the glue around. Hold the frag in place for a while until It feels like it is secured to the rock. I really don't like using superglue in the tank because if you get carried away it makes a mess of the area you are glueing.

Use the Loctite brand super glue gel. It costs a little more like $3.50 but its worth it. The stuff is amazing.

Depends on the snail, but mine never have a
problem, if it leaves a slime trail, just use the
turkey baster to blow it off.

gorilla glue is mainly for wood. It will sweal up into a thick brownish foam when it drys. I used it to fix a crack in my old tank and it was ugly.
