New to fragging

[fishez4alivin]

I've been lurking for awhile, and want to get more involved. I have some nice Monti's, setosa, appleberry that I can probably frag and submit to DBTC. I have read about "pico sized" frags, but since I don't have any experience fragging at all, well except for accidental fragging, I was wondering if I could maybe get someone more experienced to frag my corals out to submit. My setosa actually has a few nodules that have branched out since the plug is fully encrusted, I guess I can break those off? They would be small frags, like 3/8-1/2".

Be careful fragging setosa. My experience is that it can be a little sensitive. the one on the left looks like it is pretty close. Not sure if I would mess with the 2 on the right just yet.

Thanks, I will wait for it to grow out a little more. For some reason, this coral grows pretty fast in my system. I've had it for 2 months and all those nodules have grown ourward from the original plug, I can actually notice a difference from where its begun to encrust the rock its on. This is the same frag from 9/21

So maybe I'll wait a couple more weeks and have a decent frag to give away

If you come to the meeting on Saturday you'll get a primer on fragging using shears, tile saws, dremels, etc. including different mounting schemes.

Plus, there will be some free coral there

My fragging tool of choice when dealing "branches"... available at most drug stores in the foot care aisle

I wish, in my business, weekends off are few and too far between...
