Tricks of the trade

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Here's what's coming from Tonga, small example
God willing.....

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Okay here's where we're at, the next stage is to frag, we cut pieces off the corals let them lay on top of rubble and hope they attach, if they attach from 0 to 10 we will be at a 10. Stay tune

You know who to holler at when you need to ditch a frag or two! LOL looking amazing! Following along..

Someone's got to do it......hahaha

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

I've been saving this for now, the rubble made of Argonite. I rinse it put it in a basket and let it sit in the sump so bacteria builds on it and I hope the frags attached

Cant wait!

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

These scleronephthya attached to a Pacific oyster and I hope Frags I cut do the same on Rubble or maybe on oysters

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Fraging time. Tried one piece from the red chili cactus Coral. You'll see it in the tray, right now it's open and 7 days or less should attached to rubble

Never knew Tonga has these, in the 80s when I was doing this and when I came back 2017, if you see all my threads, you'll see all the different ones I've gotten. But never seen or was able to buy these types through the years

Was going to say, feel like you had shipments previously similar... crazy to see some shipments!

Yes I've had shipments, but never yellow or orange from Tonga, even the list that the different exporters have given me, don't show orange or yellow, only red, Brown, green. That's it

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Now I've had some yellow ones, but those were from Indonesia, and were not healthy at all
