TODAY!!! 01/19 Fragging Workshop at Kay's Coral Cove

[PhotoSniper]

Glad it went well! I’ll be having a sale on plugs to help sell off as many as I can before moving if anyone is interested in the cement ones.

I’m interested

Wish more people wanted the chalices. Old school BAR pieces. It’s cool seeing these chains outlive me in the hobby!
Could have made a lot of frags. So hard for me to do that now without the ability to hold them. I’m sure we can find a path to the next swap for some

You can definitely get off more at swap, we had a limited pool of people at fragging event. Most with space limitations most likely. I would aim to bring them to the swap if you are able.

The problem is…I got nowhere to hold them!

I would of course offer but i barely fit the zoas i grabbed from fragging event in my currrent frag/ zoa tank. I have my 65 empty of corals if all else fails but no gareentee they will hold up well in that tank. My euphyllia didn't do well in it, I only have nems and mushrooms in it now doing well. I've never tried any other coral types in it. If there is no other options and you happen to be coming my way I could try keeping them until the swap for you as a last option.

I still have the second tank as of now - I plan to break it down and set up the budget build soon, but I’m waiting on some things. I can keep it up and hold frags if needed

Granted, it’s newer than is ideal (1.5 month seeded with lots of live rock), but I do have rack space for at least 15 pieces, + potentially more if I lay them on the bottom / get another rack

For those who missed it, Mike showed us the right way to frag a chalice:

“Right” way. I didn’t use gloves or eye protection and you definitely should. I like to maintain the circular shape for the piece I’m going to keep and avoid cutting through old glue if possible.

I was referring mostly to the shaping, but that's why I cropped your face out of the video . But I actually prefer no gloves if you don't get irritation and aren't doing zoas. I feel like it's just a chance to get it caught in the blade.
