wasp Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I still have some prunings / breakages free to a good home. More of them than i thought i REALLY HAVE been putting them in the rubbish. Now the weather is warmer they could probably be freighted to other places via snail mail in a jar or similar, cost of p&p should be around 5 bucks or so.

lduncan Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 :lol: Is it just me or are these pink monti's really brittle. Every time i put my hand in the tank, I end up breaking off half the coral :lol: Lucky they grow fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yes in fact I think they are extremely brittle, it must be a natural propogation technique. Pain in the butt when I'm trying to grow a big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzza Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I hear you mine is growing out of control. My blue tangs ues it as a house and break of branchs which attach to the rocks and away they go. Had to do sum pruning the other day and got the need it and a bit of rock from the sump. The finished art work looks not to bad. A bit like a heard of mooses frozen in the south pole with there antlers exposed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Wasp, Where are you in Ak? I'm coming down this weekend on Sunday thru to Tuesday. Be keen to get some if you are not too out of the way. How long would they keep out of the tank? Overnight in a jar and polybox? as my dearly beloved is off for a girls night out on Monday night and I have been left to my own devices for the night. Anyone in the Howick area have a reef tank that I can have a nosey at? Cheers Skippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilknieval69 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Got anymore wasp? Will they work in my tank? I know nothing about these corals but need something in my tank!! Got anything else frag-wise you will sell me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 OK all you guys can have one but I got email also so now I'm cleaned out, none for anyone else. Give me a call 479-5446, or drop me a pm to set up a time or whatever. Skippy I think 2 days in a jar would be about the outside end. What you could do though if it has to be longer, is bring a bucket of water, a heater & power head & set up in the hotel room. That way, while your partner is away from you, you are out there visiting people & adding to your frag collection! :lol: Where am I? North Shore. The address is 9 Ronald Macken Place, Mairangi Bay.

skippy Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi Wasp Thanks for the offer but I don't think that I am gonna get there this time. Bit too far out to head for the evening (I'm a country bloke now - more than 10 minutes is a journey! ) Unless you are at home on Tuesday or can drop some frags off at Jetskis. Have to swing by him on Tuesday morning on the way home to collect some new MH bulbs. Cheers Skippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hey, Wasp. I think you need to do some more work in your tank so you can break a few frags off. Then mail them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 OK well I'll still post unless you guys change the plan first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 All the frags that are going in the mail have been sent monday morning. I've done it El Cheapo style in jars without proper heat insulation so it's experimental just to see if it works, so if there are any fatalities please let me know I want to see how effective this method is. I found a few extra frags for the new guys, so here's instructions. Hard corals need max light & good flow. Xenia needs good light not much flow, but can have a lot of flow if you don't want to see it pump. Candycane low light low flow, leathers medium light medium flow, anything else low light & med / low flow. BTW don't be dissappointed not everybody got all this, just an extra frag or two each. No need to acclimate any of these, just take out of the jar & put straight into the tank. To attach hard corals, wedge in a crack, then knead some of that putty stuff taped to the jar, and jam that in to secure the frag in place. the putty stuff will harden in about 15 minutes. Assuming the stuff got there alive, $5.00 for p&p can be paid to account 12-3087-0055883-02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
