Hey Everyone,

I have always struggled with a solid coral dipping setup. I came up with an idea that I am pretty happy with. It may have been done already, but it was an original thought for myself.

I picked up a magnetic stirrer on amazon for around $20, with a 3000ml stir capacity. Then I grabbed a 2000ml graduated cylinder. I quickly designed a 3d printed frag holder to rest an 1" off the bottom so the magnet could still agitate the water.

Today was my first time using it and I was very pleased with the results. One photo shows the debri left behind once the frags were removed from the cylinder.

I felt like it was a success and wanted to share it with everyone. Thanks for reading
