Christian Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 How do you make coral grow on the walls? like plate or cup corals grow out of the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I used to super glue frags to the wall and when the encrust will then grow all over the glass. Another method is to encase a neo magnet in 2 part putty. Glue the frag to the putty and use a magnet on the other side of the glass to hold it up.

prof Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Superglue sets underwater. You have to use superglue gel. Apply a glob to the coral out of the water and then stick it where you want it in the tank. The glue will skin over when it hits the water and cure pretty quick. When you get it where you want it you just need to press and wiggle the frag to break the skin on the glue and spread it onto the glass (or rock, or anything else). Hold it for a few seconds and it will stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 ok thats kool, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Since my tank is acrylic (DO NOT use suoer glue on acrylic it will melt) I use these magnets. I prefer them as I can move the frag around as needed. AQUA-MAGS Here is a picture of one in use Dave- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reybeast Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I do my Xenias that way, put the rock next to the wall, making sure the head is touching the glass, and pretty soon, they start creeping onto the glass and eventually split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
