using glue for fissiden and moss

[marcusth]

folks

I read in 1 of the thread sometime back but i just cant find it now that there were successful cases of using glue to have moss / fissiden together onto DW..

May i know what brand of glue and how do you do about it?? i will be very interested to try now for my DW ) Thanks

I also read about it somewhere here but cant remember... I tried once on java moss... Normal super glue.. But just a bit to make it stick..

Hi marcusth,

I believe normal superglue will do.But make sure it is aquarium safe.

In reef tanks, we use super glue to attach corals to rockscape and it is totally safe.

i think buy those marine epoxy will do.. but they are kinda expensive..

There's a Gel like super glue by Loctite widely used by Marine hobbyist to stick SPS to live rocks I reckon. You should be able to find them from reputable hardware store of LFS that sell Marine stuffs.

You can use superglue but it gradually reacts and dissolves into the water column turning white which can be undesirable. The fact it dissolves is more or less non relevant as the plants will by then have rooted. An alternative is to use a small blob of aquarium safe silicone or fishing line (remove 3 months after as it can deter from and aesthetically pleasing bioscape.)

I got my Loctite gel glue from hardware shop, think homefix those kind will sell. No need to go marine shop. As mentioned in the other thread, daiso glue also can use. I have used it to stick moss on wood and rocks before. Initially looks ugly due to white blobs but once the moss grows out, no one can tell the difference.

COOL!! thanks i shall go daiso and look for gel type then

[Maria]

yes the gel super glue from Daiso works wonders....my fishes & prawns never die, the US Fissiden & mini pelia grow like nobody business...I glue them on drift wood and lava rocks....i glue lava rocks with lava rocks....i glue drift wood to drift wood....they stick and did not fell off....it is the easiest method i have tried.....pls use it extensively....it is safe...

[marcusth]

I just bought from daiso the gel glue(blue in package) and glued fissiden and moss onto my DW and i allow it to be cure and rinse b4 putting into my tank..it kind of ugly with all the white blob..but as being said, once my fissiden and moss start to grow , it will be covered..keeping my finger cross and wait

Thanks for the response

You can use any super glue its just the gel is easier to place the liquid one you can buy at 7/11 is aquarium safe.

Learned years ago while watching a seasoned marine aquarist [30+ yrs. of marine aquarium experience] that you can in fact use Crazy Glue in aquariums. Apparently doesn't break down & is non-toxic. He was gluing corals onto live rocks and stuff. Sure enough, the things were out and happy the next day =) I've tested it in one of my tanks with the same positive results [fresh water planted].

there are quite a few to choose from in daiso..i choose this since it says stick on porcelain surface which is the nearest to what i am going to stick to as other options are to be used on metal or plastic surface...

Hopes it helps
