Seachem Flourish Glue 8g

Highly recommended product for planted aquarium

Sticks the plants good on rocks or wood inside fish tank.

Great for putting together live plants on driftwood for tank display. Excellent product.

I watched the videos provided by the company on how to use it. I would HIGHLY suggest doing this out of water as some reviews said it ruined their physical tank and after using it, I can see that happening. Also use it on something you don't care about because if the glue is on it, it's so hard to get off. I did make the mistake of thinking that if the physical gel does not touch me, I'm good. That is most definitely not the case. I applied the glue on some stones and I guess my fingers were near the water run off and so my fingers were glued very well onto the stone. Thankfully it came off without it being too painful. Just left a lot of glue for the next two days. Also, aim true. It does set white so place it in a spot that's not noticeable. They said add a little but every time I did, my fish in the fish tank would rip it out. Shrimp tank however, would be fine. I did put it in my shrimp tank within an half an hour after gluing. They are all thriving. No negative effects in the environment. It actually promote growth in the plants so that's pretty awesome. For stone structures, I do recommend having it cure out of water as I had to redo mine a few times. It was a pretty heavy stone balancing on a couple of much smaller pointed stones. Again, my shrimps love their new home. Hide in there all the time.

Don't buy

Wir haben unsere Deko mit Tillandsien nur mithilfe dieses Klebers fertigstellen können. Allerdings dauerte es einige Zeit, bis wir dahinter kamen, warum die Wurzel trotz etlicher Versuche weder auf Kunststoff noch auf Holz halten wollte! Man muss beide Seiten mit einem Klecks Kleb versehen, aneinanderdrücken und dann die Klebstelle .....mit Wasser besprühen! Erst wenn der Klebstoff mit Feuchtigkeit in Berührung kommt, hält er endlich und das wirklich gut. Wäre vielleicht einen Hinweis wert gewesen, da ich das ganze schon enttäuscht zurückschicken wollte und dann die Lösung auf Youtube fand, auf einem Bastel-Video! Also lieber Hersteller, bitte mit den dringend notwendigen Infos versehen. Sonst alles gut:)

I have to admit, I was scared to use this after reading the other reviews. I’m usually one of those people that ends up with glue on everything. I avoid crafting. I had terrible images of the fish getting the glue on them, or accidentally gluing their mouths shut if they picked at the plants. I decided to carefully go ahead with this glue anyway. Preparation is key! Set up everything you want to do beforehand. I opened the tube of glue, and some did come out, but not a lot. I didn’t want to put the plastic applicator back on with some of the glue already coming out, so I just used it straight out of the tube. I dipped the bottom of the plant in the glue and stuck it right on the driftwood. You don’t even have to hold it down, once the glue is wet, it already hardens. It worked really fast, and dried so quick, the fish couldn’t get into it, lol. I had read that other users tried the glue on non- organic material, without any success. I want to overhaul my tank with new decorations, starting with a river made from sea glass. When I applied the glue to the glass, it just stayed wet and wouldn’t firm up, so I ran it under water since the water is the activator. That did the trick. If the water is too high in pressure, the glue will spread, so you just need to dip it in water and it will start to harden. It does turn white, so plan where you will put everything to hide the adhesive side. Thankfully, no fish were injured in this attempt, and I’m glad I bought this stuff! I can’t wait to finish redecorating my tank :). Update to my review: My fish pulled a few of the plants back off, so I had to wedge them into the driftwood as well as glue them. So far, it has worked. The sea glass river turned out really well. The fish picked at the glue a little bit, but they are fine. I’m sooo happy I bought this stuff, it was a real game changer. I’m in love with my tank again :).
