where and how did you learn to frag???
Lately I find myself cutting alot of corals and I'm always curious how people do it themselves or how they started doing it. Post me your frag stories good or bad and what you do and dont do????????
For me I started with kenyas , I cut it one day and lost a piece to find it the next day now attached slightly, after doing it some more I tried other corals, I haven't fragged anything difficult yet but have done kenyas, all kinds of zoa's, gorgnians, pipe corals plus all the weeds lol kind of it's own little hobby now, so the new tank will have frag tank underneathe

Well, I just did a water change, and I just cannot stand the Hair algae growing on my hug piece of monti anymore. So I just started cracking the pieces apart until I have a few pieces of corals without any H/A on them, then I just stuck them back in between LRs. Noew they are slimming badly. Hope they will survive.

That type of fraging is just cutting. Wait till you cut a brain coral or plate coral with a tile saw. Now that just sucks smells terrible and chunks of slime getting thrown everywhere. I find you just have to go for it. Corals are a lot hardier then we give them credit for

Razor blade for the softies, frag cutters for the sps, dremel with cutting wheel for everything else
 . And yes, once you whip out the dremel it gets messy. Wear eye protection at all times!

Havent done much fragging yet as nothings really large enough for it but recently came across a recomended video of Eric Borneman on coral fragging. Rediculous! The guy is so comfortable fragging. Just like any other day. It was really informative. Have been googleing any video I can with him in it. His book is next on my list. Also Ive been googleing Anthony Calfo and watching what I can on him. Not quite ready yet for sawing anything but really makes me more comfortable on the subjects watching and learning from these guys.
