If you saw it in person, you'll see its a series of light taps. I'm not walloping away like Thor.

I now have this image of Ty going in for a frag

Made a video showing how I removed some colonies from my rockwork to make room for some new, shiny goodies that have been growing out in the frag tank. @bubbaque , you're up!

Thanks for making the video! You make it look very easy. Would you do this if your rock was on the glass?

My inclination is to say no. It really isn't with much force but all it takes is one good sharp edge and just the right amount of force and sploosh!

Hey in your video you said the extra pieces that are left over you kalc. Just how do you go about doing that I heard that's a good way I've always wanted know how to do it?

Just get some kalkwasser in a cup and add some water until you can make a thick sludge out of it. Then you smear it on the encrusted portions and it'll burn away the flesh. Just be careful to do a little at a time since it will increase your alk and calcium.

Do you have to drain the water or does it schmear out in the water?

Just mix it a bit thicker... Should be a sludge with very little watery consistency. Think like wet concrete consistency... Not porridge.

I like to wash my vegetables in it! And add it to my moisturizer for exfoliation too! I'm totally kidding by the way. Don't do that folks.

Oh yeah. Duh. I used to buy it as Ms. wages Pickling lime at Wal-mart. That was just an a random coincidence about my joke. Lol.

Vivid Confetti (whites) - colors are getting much deeper which is nice. Not much green but that I can already tell is really only going to happen under Radions in my frag tank then the colony under T5s. All that UV helps with the greens. Ignore the dirty sand... I removed the sand from my frag tank and it kicked up a dirty display tank sand episode. That bald spot in the middle, other then resembling my own head, is where my original plug popped off when I was fragging the colony so I put that piece in my frag tank as a fragging colony.
