Butcherman's 4ft tank

[butcherman]

Hey CW, Fragging should mainly be done when the coral is healthy and its getting to big. You can then frag ig and get a few to swop ammongst fellow reefers

I fragged this particular one as a last resort to try and save some of if as it was litterally turning to dust infront of my eyes.

Fragging this cushion i used a stanly knife and iodine and some goggles

Oh ok.

Cool thanx for the info.
Ill be sure to ask the correct prosedure how to frag before i do it one day.
What is iodine?

Small update The tank has been running low on iodine, OH the irony!!! I hope it has been sorted for now.

I have been dosing special bend, for 2 weekks results i think are still indifinative but things generally are looking up.

Got some orange and pink zoas from the lfs today.
Also got a lovely, gsp rock which i have fraged a little
and the best for last I got a Hammer coral today also.

Neato! That pic of the clown dead in the centre of the pincushion is priceless!!! :-D Love it!

The red algae is stunning too btw. I love incorporating macros. But aren't you worried about the green umbrella caulerpa on the other side? Can be a serious PITA once it gets a firm grip on a system....

Some stunning looking life in there man!

 

[butcherman]

I'm actually considering trying to remove both algea's, following my recent iodine saga.

I hope the last ones are better, the first ones were only taken with my nokia N79
