I would totally be into this, I still have to learn how to frag!!!, I saw a fragging set for beginners at jl looked pretty cool, i might pick one up. Or any better ideas that that??

Thanks a lot

Wanna try an little experiment? How about trading a coupla frags to try & see how they grow under your T5HO lights compared to my halides?

Hey Tony,

I wouldn't worry about the fragging set. Just a good (rust proof!) pair of snips, some decent gel glue & live rock rubble is all you need & much cheaper. Plugs are nice if you want to grow out on a frag rack.

Have you tried growing acros? Millies? Pocci's? Monti's? pm me, I'll see what frags I can spare.

Excellent growth!! Mine took a long time to start growing, but the'yre doing good now... what bugs me is that you dose nothing, and I dose and test for everything!! GRRR!!

As for the frag kit, find a place in your area that does veterinary supply... pick up a few surgical grade steel snips and tongs... I put my fragging kit together for $10.

That growth is awesome!

On the evaporation. I was the same until I installed a new humidifier in my furnace now its dropped WAY down, before my humidifier was broken so the tank was working as a humidifier for the house

I currently have mine set at 30% and the evaporation is less than a 1/4 of what it was before

I have 2 acros, that the polyps are not that far out, nothing like the birdsnest, and i have a green fuzzy and another thing thats like purple polyps on a green body, I dont know what kind it is, paul might remember, and they are both growing like a weed, I also have a frogspawn that has gotten huge and I can post pics if anyone interested.

Also have some zoas, but most of the frags have been killed by my wonderful koran angel, that i want out of my tank so bad, SOO BAD, but i cant catch him for the life of me, I probably will go with a plan paul told me, sounds like it could work.

One other thing i forgot to mention, i have a really really heavy bioload on my tank, and for a while i had a skimmer that was technically to small. Ill admit, that is one place i could be better at, keeping my bioload down, i just love the fish, way too much.
