You get a free frag from him of any coral you catch him posting photos of twice! And anyone who catches him but cannot receive a frag because of their location gets to nominate who it goes to! :D
Suckers bet there. I haven’t posted the same coral since 2015 when this thread started.

Really nice!
Just to know; is there some advantages to put the frag on the epoxy instead of just gluing it on the plug?
Thanks
I use epoxy bc it holds the frag in place while the glue dries. Otherwise you’re holding the frag and the plug underwater for what seems like forever

Hey Sam,

Advantage is it makes a half inch frag look like an inch. I’m kidding... but sadly have received some frags like that.

I actually did it because I ran out of superglue gel and only had the regular liquid superglue. So I added some superglue, added the epoxy, and then dabbed more superglue on top and pressed the frag in.

My tank has a weird ability to make all tenuis look the same at first. . Then they start differentiating color as they get larger. Everything starts pink.

I wish I can get my acros to turn pink. My weird acro ability is that I turn everything green...sometimes I even surprise myself by having them turn brown. :rolleyes: occasionally, I might even get bright white. ;Facepalm

jk, i had to. keep up with the nice pics.

Hey FarmerTy! Are you still using your alkatronic? If so, do you replace the pump tubing at any certain frequency? Thanks!
