Product Information
Full details
Aquaforest Gel Fix is an essential tool for reef hobbyists and coral propagators who require a reliable, fast-setting adhesive for securing coral frags to plugs or rockwork. Its primary benefit is a thick, gel-like consistency that prevents the glue from running, allowing for precise placement even in tricky aquascaping environments. While it offers an incredibly strong bond, users should be mindful that the fast curing time requires quick, deliberate placement of coral specimens to avoid setting the glue in the wrong position.

Troubleshooting

Use a thin needle to carefully clear the dried glue from the tip of the nozzle.

Pros and Cons

- Thick consistency prevents waste and messy spills

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best bond, always clean the surface of the frag plug and the destination rock using a stiff brush to remove algae or debris before application. For storage, it is critical to wipe the nozzle clean after every use and ensure the cap is tightened securely to prevent moisture from entering the tube and curing the glue prematurely. Keep the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When using inside the aquarium, keep the frag still until the 10-second set time has fully elapsed to ensure a secure connection.
