Frags part 2

[MixedFruitBasket]

So I gave up on glue and went to tiny soft latex rubber bands and they seem to be meshing better with the corals. Now I'm starting to get a collection of frags ready to send to new homes.
Now I just gotta set up a website. :/

It will be interesting to see how long the rubber lasts in saltwater.

Well they're latex and I only need them to last long enough for the coral to attach to the plug.

My experience is that latex is no match for saltwater

I've been using the smallest size zip tie- cut off the excess tie and glue to plug. Sounds odd but works great for firmer softies. Soft ones I let settle on rubble.

Needle and thread. I also use plastic mesh bags that oranges come in. Place your drag on a small piece of rock. Wrap with mesh just tight enough to keep the cut base in contact with the rock. The secure mesh with rubber band. Works like a charm, even if the coral grows around the mesh there usually is no problem.

Thanks. I will have to try that
