I know... too many frags.. for my new year's resolution, I will finally decide on my top 25 palys and top 10 zoas (with doubles or triples ofcourse ) and just keep the tank clean... it's so hard to choose though that's why it has taken me so long to clean up the sand bed... I worked on the tank last night and cleaned it some more...

our Jan frag swap is a key for getting rid of more pieces... looking forward to it.. it does not look natural and it will become just that more and more...

about the frag holders, a friend of mine made all four of what I have.. originally, it was suppose to hold frags on my 12g nano but it has done wonders with the 32g also... all it is is eggcrate glued to magnet cleaners... I would recommend sanding the edges of the eggcrates to prevent cuts when you work on your tank, especially if it's small like mine..

more pics coming soon..

Thanks..

gimme another month or two for the Nuclears... I love having back ups for these guys just for growing.. my main colony hasn't been touched since I fragged them the first time (around first week of Oct).. started with 3 polyps and went to 20+ polyps now.. I cannot count them accurately coz I cannot see all of the babies popping... it takes the baby about 2-3 weeks to become sub adults and another 2-3 weeks for the sub adults to become an adult.. they start budding new babies around the sub adult stage.. they normally bud from 3-7 polyps at a time... they grow mad after fragging..
