ill just see how much it is to get one for them :D trust me that hot glue dosnt come off with out a fight

The glue is probably still in a liquid state at room temperature, much like glass (someone with a PHD in chemistry could confirm)

Freeze it, put the whole thing in the freezer....the glue should be rock hard then

That's good, just start over with different rocks.

Super Glue (the gel kind) is safe. I have used it in my dwarf puffer tank before.

the gel will also dissolve in time. It is safe to use but only temporary.

Silicone is the best and or reef putty.

if you use silicone.. it must be clear silicone.

reef putty is best.

have you done the water change tonight?


The reason I ask is we are working without testing the water. Without testing the water we don't know when it is safe. The most important thing you can focus on is the water. The rocks and everything have no meaning if the fish gets sick.

I hope you understand.
