I was trying to use regular super glue (not gel) once and had one drop fall into the water. It spread over the top and into the overflows before I would do a thing. I spent a while scraping it off the strainers and was just lucky that no fish wanted to investigate. I did find out that if you only have regular glue you can get a cup of tank water and put a few drops in there and it will stay on the surface. If you take the frag and dip and twist it in the cup it gets all the glue so you can mount it.
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

My clown likes to nip at anything as you put it into the tank, superglue or not. I glued alot of Devil's hand last week and she glued her lips shut for a few hours. She recovered though.

Isn't it wierd how bad you freak out from this??? It kinda reminds me of when a jolly rancher just starts to get soft enough to where you can bite it, then you do and totally freak out because your mouth is stuck shut. I LOVE IT. Nothing like peeling the battle wounds off days later (super glue skin).

Recently, I was glueing Zoa's to a shell and got a bunch of glue stuck to my fingertips, so I (durrrrr) took a papertowel to quickly wipe the glue off and managed to stick two fingers together and wound up with a bunch of papertowel glued to them as well...
I had to use an emery board to sand off the papertowel.
I've always used a separate dish though with some wax paper underneath - it's not waterproof, but it works.
