How to attach coral frag to rock

Just a small video of a frag I got and exactly how I attach them to rocks. Not sure of the name of it but unfortunately the frag didn't make it. Was shriveled up about 2 days later. Happens sometimes. The high point of this video is towards the end with my introduction to my Green Spotted Puffer conversion. Stay tuned.

I don't have a SUMP so basically all the live rock I have is inside the main tank. All the live rock in the tank is too big to take out, and too risky because my shrimp + fishes hide in there. Basically, I'm having trouble mounting the coral because I have to put the Krazy Glue on the coral and stuff it onto the rock before the glue dries (Because the water is an accelerant). So what I'm trying to say is can you show me how to mount with the rock already in the tank? Thank you and, Kenya Tree.

@hudacheck Put a glob of glue on the coral base and place it on the rock while it is in the tank. Hold it there for maybe a minute and it will most likely stick. Try for a spot that's a perfect fit though. Though it doesn't hurt to ask for a small piece of rock from the fish store when buying the coral initially.

What kind of salt do you use? My tank has had a brown algea outbreak. I think its the salt. I kinda noticed it is the type of salt I changed to. Good video. How can I control brown algae? ?? Email at elchocolate707@gmail.com thanx!

@elchocolate707 All about water quality when it comes to algae. Not salt brand. Try to use RO water. Did this and immediately got rid of any hair algae. Brown algae usually comes from over feeding and high nitrates.

Had to get rid of puffers as they went after my shrimp. Forgot they weren't reef safe. It was the shrimp or the puffers to stay. Kept the shrimp.

Do you still have your Spotted Puffers? I had mine in a 125 gallon reef tank for a year and a half. One got caught in a maxi jet while I was out of the country. The other seemed to die after that. They were very active and I became quite attached although they did eat snails and fancy shrimp.
