SRC Member asg Posted January 22, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted January 22, 2015 Just cut it? yes. just cut it. nothing is impossible. on a serious note: 1) make sure you have some glue, frag base (if you are not gluing it to rock). 2) then trim from the base of the colony (less obvious and those bottom sticks are used to less light) 3) glue the frag, then place the frag at lower light lower flow areas for one or few days 4) keep your fingers crossed Quote 子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐...

Mr.E Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Step 5. After fragging, pass them to me. HAHA! Good to hear your SPS is growing well bro superbee! Oh BTW bro, use those wire cutter pliers. Does it easier and cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member superbee Posted January 22, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted January 22, 2015 Sure, but let me first learn how to take picture with correct white balance first. If not everything look blueish. Quote Up coming project: 5' x 2.5' x 2.5' Mix Reef Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexcyf Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Also, for thicker branches. You can use e tip of the cutter to nip of about 1/3 e diameter of the branch. It will be easier to break it and you will still be able to frag it neatly. Cutting the whole branch requires more effort and risk breaking other parts of the colony down or upstream Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Follow Alex's Reefing Journey @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
