I have the same issue. 1/3-1/2 my display is frag racks right now lol.

I have 2 frag racks in my display, and I set up a 20 gallon frag tank in my basement because I ran out of room. I almost built a 16'x4'x18" frag tank last month. I decided to set up a 40 sps tank instead.... I'm kinda wishing I would have gone with the frag setup already and the 40 is still yet to be built.

I've personally encountered a strange physical reaction to fragging corals. ( I'm being serious ) I find I start shaking really bad when handling them. I try gluing zoa's to a plug and I shake so bad it's crazy! I have no idea why I react this way....very strange.

Sounds like you have gotten a dose of palytoxin. Did you happen to get a metallic taste in your mouth?

well due to fragging all my finger tips on my right hand have become cracked and it hurts when i put my hand in the water most of all my fingers are so tight my fingers split then they start to bleed.... i will take some pictures to show you. and my fingers get really tight. i might of caught an infection, its been like this for about 3 weeks i dont wear gloves ever. I might of gotten something in my cut a while back..

My sis gets this from her job for me. Works awesome for healing hands. You really really NEED to be wearing gloves while fragging!!

@ Pete Polyp-No I've not been poisoned. This shaking even before I start to frag. I think it's fear :-0

Oh.... Well in that case you should employ a pre fragging ritual with relaxation, soft music in the background and 3 shots of bourbon :)
