It isn't Crazy Glue, it is Super Glue Gel.

What I recommend you do is get the frag out of the tank, and blot it dry on the
part you will glue, as well as the new spot on the rock. Apply your gel, hold
the frag in place for a minute, then dip it in a container of sal****er
(preferably tank water), then pull it out again to make sure it is holding.
Apply more gel if necessary, then you can put it safely in your tank.

There is a possibility your skimmer will go nuts from the glue in your water, so
keep an eye on it for the next few hours, to make sure it doesn't overflow and
waste tankwater you need.

hello all: i have a toadstool leather that has a small/baby piece
growing out of another part of the rock that it"s attached to. i would
like to cut the small one & place it on another rock but have never done
this . do i cut as close to the rock as possible, will it grow out of
the rock again? razor or scissors, also i heard crazy glue will work to
attach frags in place--any toxins to worry about to kill tank from glue?
any info would be great---thanks

Does the skim from the protein skimmer contain salts from the tank water?
Just wondering if when topping off the tank with pure water I need to take
in to account the waste the skimmer has produced.

Thanks!

It probably does, but not enough to be concerned about. I empty the collection
cup on my skimmer every 3 to 4 days, to clean it out. That probably is 2 cups
worth, total.

However, if you have a skimmer that is external to a tank and sump, it can
overflow lots of water if conditions are right for it, and a tank can lose
gallons and gallons of water. An Automatic Top-Off device doesn't know the
difference, and will add more water until the float switch shuts it off. So if
there was a 50g resevoir of fresh water or kalkwasser, you should understand the
disaster that is waiting to happen.

Better to have the skimmer in the sump, so if it overflows, it dumps the water
right back into the system and avoids losing any fluid.
