What kind of glue should I use?

So, I have aquarium safe silicone, hot glue, and super glue. I want to wrap some jute twine around a small fish bowl I'll be using as a moss pit. What kind of glue should I use? When I made my popsicle bridge I used hot glue, and that stuff didn't last a day in my tank.... the sticks broke apart, it was a mess. Would it do the same with twine? Which is best with the heat and humidity?
Also, this is for the 55 so whichever I use will have a few months to cure, the crabs won't be getting into this until it's completely set up, so about 4 months from now probably.

Silicone will work best for this project!

Thanks!!
Is there such a thing as too many moss pits? I ordered a hanging cocohut from isppodconnection that I'll be adding moss in, then I want this fish bowl to have moss in it.... And I planted some organic chia seeds this morning for a little pit of seeds and some sprouts

I don't think there is, but then my crabs love fresh moss! I know others have crabs that won't use them. I say set it all up and see what they like. You might want to consider different types of moss to give them some variety!

Great idea! I already planned spaghnum moss, what other types do you use? Also how often do you change your moss out??

I usually do the Exoterra Sphagnum and Forrest moss, but there is also beaked and frog moss readily available for reptiles!

Hello! I don't see that there can be too many moss pits, crabs love that stuff!

I don't contain my moss, it's laid on the ground and they tend to scatter it around.

I try to contain my moss so it stays moist longer.

The stuff on the ground just dries up.
