I recently posted an article on the reasoning behind fragging. Today I continued with it and wrote about the actual tools that I (and some) use. Here is the snippet from the first:
"Every reefer will encounter a problem that is inevitable. Some might sooner, and others later. But it will happen. What is this event, that no one can avoid? Its called overgrowth. And I am not talking about your facial hair.
Many reefers will be stuck for space over time. In fact, many loose their tanks in crashes because of this ‘phenomena’. Corals grow and expand beyond their limitations, that are set forth by their holding tanks. Over time, the will find no more space for growth and will die.. causing a chain of events (that no reefer wants to experience)."... to read more follow the link.

And this is from the second post:
"Now that you know why we frag , continuing from part 1, I am going to touch up on some tools that we pros use. They are grouped in obvious categories; SPS , LPS , Soft/Zoa.
SPS
Wave Coral Clippers : Has a long grip for those hard to reach areas. The blades are made from stainless steel (which don’t rust), and can cut through bone (calcium). They can cut that thick branched A. abrotanoides without a problem. ".. to reasd more, follow the link.

I want to use this thread to discuss tools and fragging methods that you may have used or have worked well for you. Or if you have a serious question about fragging or some tools used, please post it in here. I am sure many reefers who have been fragging (or are in the business of fragging) could spill their knowledge and help you.
