I have a fairly large tank and a growing collection of frags. 170g + 50g sump + 33g frag tank on system. I have literally dozens of high end frags and colonies.
I tried years ago to keep a spreadsheet to track which rack the frags were on, but now I have full grown colonies on rocks and multiple racks.
I have a problem in that I know a colony or frag when I get it and place it, but I lose track of what it is in the intervening years. They color up or color down, they grow or i frag a piece and start a new colony, etc.
For those who have multiple colonies and frags and tanks how do you track them?
I have tried using a Sharpie on the bottom of the frag plug, but saltwater degrades the ink to the point of nonsense in less than a month.
I had an idea to buy one of those old fashioned label guns that presses the name onto a sticky roll of tape which you cut after naming and stick to the frag bases.
*I have no idea if anyone else handles their frag tracking this way?
*Is the tape used safe?
* Does it stay stuck on?
If you don’t use this method how do you handle frag tracking and organization in your system? I’ve attached a few shots of my DT and wife’s 33 tanks (plumbed to my system).
Thanks!!!
