![]() I agree with this. I try to sell larger cuts, even if I give more than I get. And I no longer buy 'nib' sized frags.
Besides recovery, smaller cuts seem to be much more prone to a quick death. Jason, I'm very hard on corals. I temp acclimate for at least 20 mins with the bag open (in sump). Then I go through a couple hours of water acclimation - drip or eye dropper - all while floating. Next is a dip in CoralRX, or Revive, and sometimes even 1 followed by the other. And all the while being blasted with a powerhead and a turkey baster. Finally, they get a rinse in fresh tank water, followed by an inspection with a magnifying glass. If all looks good, and the dip water has nothing visible under a glass, they are glued to the LR. I have some hardy corals in my DT as I've killed enough dipping to know what to stay away from ... I have some in my tank right now that have encrusted and are fuzzy, but are still not sprouting after 1-1/2 years. Others from the same time have grown to the size of my fist and larger since.
