I'm really bad at gluing things down underwater -- especially by the measure of what my pacific turbo can't bulldoze. But this stuff is awesome. I made an impression out of reef epoxy and then used some of this gel to glue a frag into the impression after the epoxy had cured. Totally turbo snail proof (so far). The biggest thing is that (even though you're probably not supposed to) you can fill the applicator tip with gel and then submerge the whole tube and apply the gel under water -- this is much less stressful for my polyps and hasn't damaged the bottle yet. Since it's a gel, it's easy to avoid sucking up salt water and ruining the applicator.

Great usability. Just get some for around the tank. I broke off a tip of my Birds Nest and was able to make it into a frag in a quick minute. Not trying to sell it here for them it is just so much better than watching the frag bit die in the sand.

For the price, I'm not sure that this is worth it. The exact ingredients are in a glue that is found in the plumbing department of Home Depot, and that only costs 2 bucks.
Glue is thick, that's a plus, but also goes quickly

So I received a bottle of TLF CorAffix with my fraggin kit. I feel this adhesive is near useless. Once a frag is glued ALL exposed adhesive will grow algae all over it. The Adhesive also will bubble up easily when put into water and will require trimming. After about 2 weeks in NaH20 the adhesive weakens immensly and will break with the slightest touch and drop your frags...
Good thing is it is easy to use as its thick but not TOO thick.

Superior above water. No runny mess, multiple attemps or subsequent reinforcing. Can also work adhering frags to underwater rockscape. But, you have to apply a hefty glob to the frag above water, carefully dip the base to skin it over, proceed to attach underwater and hold in place til set (10 sec). The only drawback to this thick of a gel is heavier clogging upon subsequent storage. Highly recommended.

this product is excellent for those nagging frags that keep getting knocked off by crabs, snails and fish. I have not had one frag move from where i placed it, once you figure out the water activates the glue it works very well

Not easy to use underwater for already established rocks and coral fixation that you can't remove from the tank. If any water gets inside the dispenser, the entire thing hardens and cannot be used again.

Well, it is superglue. It is a little thicker than the normal type, but not nearly as thick as some i've tried. It does work, but it is a little runnier than i would have liked. Worked well for gluing down mat type corals, a little more difficult for SPS. Perhaps i was trying to use too much at once.

Great stuff, use it for all my frags, sets quick and holds long. A little goes a long way, I sometimes use to much.
