Are you open 24 hours? LOL, I'd be glad to take some frags off your hands. I'll be up in the Cedar Park area Thursday and Friday, just not sure if I will have time to make it by unless at night.

Just wondering; were you selling the frags or giving some away? Hope that's not too hopeful? I could use some!

Sure, no problem. I have a lot of room in my tank. I can take as much as you want to get rid of.

You are great.

I can always learn if some one wants to teach me. What I really am saying (and as alot of you know) that I give frags of my corals to MAAST members for FREE. This is a benny (one of many) that members get! ;) What I get is the joy of sharing! And it is really time to frag alot of my corals!!!!

That was Jason's. I've never seen one like it. We'll have to grow them to a good size and share with the others also. I could probably get a couple frags off min to even out the head. Maybe a raffle prize?

Jim,

I have a ton of LR rubble I can bring up if you want to go ahead and mount them. The other idea I had was
using the plastic florist water picks. I think you have a few of those already and we discussed the idea of
getting a box of those. My wife used to own a florist shop and she knows where to get them in SA. She's going to
call and check on them tomorrow. I think there are about 1000 to a box, so we might give some away at meetings
or whatever. They should work good for the branching SPS. We could use the rubble for encrusting or plating corals.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

GaryP,
Yes get them if possible! Those are great for fragging SPS corals. Taxman I am fairly OK at fragging sps corals but I have never fragged any zoos. So I will need help.

Is there a special way to frag zoo's other than the hammer and chisel method? How about a way to slow down the growth? They are almost as bad as aptasia.

Greg, if you can get the gold ones off without tearing up the reef too bad, they are all yours.

Tim,

I like tha Anthony Calfo method of fragging zoo's. Just slice them off the rock with a scalpel. The trick is to hold the scalpel between your teeth when not using it. It has the added benefit of being a great dieting technique because he wasn't able to feel his lips or taste anything for about 3 days.

Children - DO NOT try this at home.
