If you have kept reef aquariums for any length of time, you are intimately familiar with cyanoacrylate glues. Epoxies and cements are great tools, but every reef aquarist needs some glue on standby to attach frags and tackle basic aquascaping. There are many different glues out there, but we will shamelessly plug our own, as it is the best we have tried yet! Here is why we like the MarineAndReef.com Extra Thick Maxi Cure Glue.

It’s not thic, it’s extra thicc!
The most important aspect of a reef glue is how thick it is. If the glue is runny, then it doesn’t fill in the cracks between the coral branches, nooks, and crannies in your rock work. This ultimately means a poor bond. The MarineAndReef.com Extra Thick Glue is the thickest we have found. It is ideal for gluing frags or bonding small rocks.

Fast, but not too fast, curing.
When I am fragging corals, I like the glue to work instantly, but when aquascaping, I want some time to get everything where I want it before the glue hardens. The MarineAndReef.com Extra Thick glue cures in about 3 to 5 minutes. This makes it easy to glue a frag and stick it on a frag rack with low flow and wait for it to harden. It also allows enough time to make sure rocks are positioned how you want them before the bond is irreversible. Once you have everything where you want it, you can use the MarineAndReef.com Glue Accelerator to speed up the curing process.

Good Value
There were days I would buy super glue from the dollar store to save money on my frag glue. It was cheap but extra runny and only available in small tubes. The MarineAndReef.com Extra Thick Glue is more affordable than other reefing glues, but it still has the desirable consistency and drying speed of a quality reef glue.

Multiple Sizes
Four sizes to choose from. 1/2 ounce. 1 ounce. 2 ounces. 8 ounces. One ounce is roughly enough glue for fifty frags.
