Fragging: Aesthetics or Cash?

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

In the past, I did a lot of fragging. I saved all my frag/fish money for my Felicia's university fund. Buy a tank, coral or fish, out of my pocket. Sell something fish related, into Felicia's university fund. Even when I sold my 210g setup last year, all that $$ went into Felicia's fund.

Lately, not fragging so much. Do some trading though.

I prefer to trade frags if I can, I'd rather have a variety of cool stuff, and it tends to be a lot easier on the wallet!

I frag when we have swaps but I don't really have much of a buyer base in Nanaimo so I don't frag unless corals are growing into each other and sometimes I just like to watch what happens

For smaller colonies that don't take up much space its all about aesthetics for me though, unless I can get big bucks for the frags

My solution ultimately (once I get the frag tank working properly) is to take strategic frags from colonies and grow them out for fragging. This will have minimal impact on the display, and the only fragging will be when colonies hit each other. I took frags from one colony in May and it will be a few more months for it to grow back to looking like it didn't get chopped.

+1, I would rather trade.

It's not so much about trading vs selling, more about chopping up a perfectly good colony that doesn't need fragging. Do you cut pieces anyway, to trade/sell/give to your mom, or do you let things grow so that they look untouched?
