Key Features
- Fast-Acting Adhesive: The gel quickly bonds to surfaces, ensuring corals and decorations remain in place.

Ideal Use Case
This adhesive is ideal for securing frag plugs to live rock, attaching corals directly to rock formations, or creating durable aquascapes. It is suitable for both novice aquarists and experienced hobbyists looking to enhance the stability of their aquatic designs.
Setup Tips
- Clean Surfaces: Ensure that the areas where you will apply the gel are clean and free from detritus to promote adhesion.
- Apply Sparingly: Use a small amount of gel; it is strong enough to hold even larger pieces without excessive application.
- Let it Cure: Allow the adhesive to cure properly above and under water for optimal bond strength.
Maintenance
While AF Gel Fix is designed to provide a long-lasting bond, it is advisable to inspect secured items regularly. This will ensure that they remain stable and that no replacements or adjustments are needed. If corals start to detach, reapply as necessary.
