Are you guys talking about icgel? That is what I use.

Yep. The same one as Derek sent a picture of

Right now I'm using the red super glue because I have it, but IC gel is the best glue imo

Solid example of this marketing occured from from a conversation with Chad from reef nutrition at the recent cfm. He said they are now offering tdo pellets for freshwater ad well. The only not really a secret is the packaging says freshwater and shows freshwater fish. The product is 100% the same and unaltered in anyway only the packaging. I can imagine probably the same with some of these glues mentioned here.


I wouldn't take the same view in terms of a dosing type chemical for a tank. As there are likely lot of stuff you wouldn't want in your tank. Glues I expect only have a handful of actual ingredients some suitable for aquariums/ water others not. There likely aren't hundreds of different brands and qualities when it comes to glue. As there is with chemicals or supplements.

FWIW Otohime, the base pellet/granule of TDO is used extensively for freshwater fish, especially Zebrafish. Before I helped develop TDO, the main customers at Reed for it were cod, clownfish, and Zebrafish.

Funny you bring this up, the launch at MACNA just came up in my FB feed... 14 years ago.

It just never crossed my mind to skimp on glue.

Agreed that the above is the best superglue I have used. I still mostly use the very economical stuff from Amazon but if cost was not an issue then I would go IC-gel all the way. I generally have some around for when I am gluing important frags to the rockscape in the display tank.

if you can save $1 per tube and you are ordering 50 tubes of your, that is $50 to put towards the ATI Straton budget!
