There are also many ways to attach the frag ,here again I use the one which works well for me ,but be aware that there are many options available to you.

Where does one buy this fishnet?

 

[Mekaeel]

if its material,any fabric shop should stock it and if its plastic,FED's DIY stock it

Alfie I found it at the fabric shop at Canal Walk ,they are very helpful and have many different types of netting.

 

[Alfie]

Ok to ad to this thread I could not find netting so we used a different technique. Super glue gel and elstic bands.

equipment needed to frag,
knife not serated edge
super glue gel
elastic bands
paper towels
Seachem Reef Dip (Coral Disinfectant)
Seachem Reef plus (Conentrated Vitamin & Amino acid supplement)

Cut the parent colony and laid pieces on a plastis tray to dry a bit. Wipe end dry and hold on frag where super glue gel has been placed. Put elastic around and place in water with Reef dip. Once all done drain of slime water and replace with fresh reef dip water. Leave for a while and place in water with reef plus, let it stand for a while and then place in frag tank.

Pics of the process to follow.

What is the reef dip ?

Warren it is a coral disinfectant, good idea to dip new corals you may get.

Thanks for the advice, sorry I didn't make through to your place, our government (RSA, not the wife ) is quite demanding and I had to work everyday (Mon - Wed) from 08h00 to 23h00

 

[Alfie]
