Tiles with glue

[West1]

Was wondering if those with Tiles at the bottom actually paste them or just leave them freely?

If they are free doesnta lot of debree get under the Tiles?

Im considering Tiles but dont want to empty my tank or have them loosely in there... any way to do so?

Thanks

I had marble tiles in a tank once. I just used silicone to glue them in and seal around the outside. I did notice that the glossy finish seemed to break down and became rough after a while and was kind of a pain to clean. different tiles may hold up better.

Im assuming you did this before you put fish in, right?

Is there a way to get the tile and glue with a stocked tank?

I do not beleive there is a way to glue them with the tank stocked.

The safest glue we have to use is silicone. And most dry/cure by evaporating the curing agent out of them. (no air -no cure) And also the curing agents leaking out into the tank would kill your fish.

Now on a positive note Reefers use a glue to attach new coral frags to there reef while the tanks are set up all the time.

I am not a reef specialist by any means so you may need to do some research on that.
