It's not a frag tank it's a frag cutting tank and coral qt for new pieces before they're put in dt or frag tank or grow out tank
Ahh. How long have you had that many? I had 5 as well. Just sold one a couple weeks ago. I do freshwater and saltwater and its all too much lol

In order not to cross contaminate I dont want nudis or redbugs munching on my high end sps or to bring in something unwanted that way it gives me time to test each piece and observe under microscope closely before it moves on

Do you dip? What microscope are you using?

Always dip nobody is clean even fish if you can't qt or have the space atleast dip the little guy all marine fish are parasite prone

The videos were black. I would like to watch those if you have a link. That sounds interesting, I have an amscope microscope and have been wondering what else I can put under it besides algae, copepods and worms haha

Ya I was wondering what you were looking for under a microscope after dipping haha
It's for observation really to see if there are any irregularities or lesions in tissue
Inspecting the piece with a more finite view

It goes from 40 to 120 depending on how far you pull out the eyepiece and adjust the focus via a wheel on the bottom
