I don't even have the first idea how to frag a toadstool! Nothing sticking out from it to cut off. Otherwise, yeah, I'm working on my (slow) process for getting frags ready for shipping out to people--not for sale, just for sharing.
Yeah, I have zero first hand experience fragging them either. Just have been obsessed with them and watched a thousand youtube videos about it. It seems like a rather brutal process that leaves the mother toad ugly for a while when it heals.

This is one of the better how to videos I have found.

This'll be a busy week.

New lid and new to be made and new Plank Feeder ordered! Wrasses should be very happy soon. Thanks @AVAST Marine Dan for helping with the AIO design! Can't wait to see how it works!

AND, new Black Widow split! $$$$$. That will help with the setup.

Berghs seems to have eaten at least 2 of the Aips, still a few I can see, though. No pods on the glass!


Here was my Friday night trip to the office to add the pods/berghs:

I've got hairy starfish and bristelworms!

Also a smaller Eunice worm species

I love how the meaty corals open up at night! Lobo and Trachy were on full display. Even the recovering scoly was open. Of course I had to feed them. Can't stand hungry mouths.

And it's Monday morning, so first thing I did in the office was dump Dinkins Phyto + ROE + PacPods + ArctiPods + OysterFeast + PhytoFeast into the hungry tank. Trachy says thank you:

Couple of tank pics. I took the 1 hr acclimation period for the bergs to clean the office. Note: I did all of this only under red light!

Plank requires 2 outlets and the one for the plank needs to be programmable down to minutes or less, just an FYI

Thanks Mothy! That's what the Techbee timer is for at the bottom of the Amazon order. It is programmable to set up a countdown timer in seconds at intervals throughout the day. At least that's the idea. Will have to play with it a bit.

Yep! The Plank should run for less than a minute unless you have a higher food need. I'm planning on running my Sicce for probably 15 minutes or so to make sure it gets a good stir and discharges as much of the food as possible.

I have a wifi strip that I'll use for the pump. 15 min good enough? probably play around with it and see how it does.
