Reef doing good, other than needing to glue things down.

I avoid gluing things down so hard, it could be considered a professional sport.

I just hate doing it.

So, I added sand to my little 'frag' tank. Honestly, frags weren't doing as well in here as I hoped, some were dying and I tossed them into the big tank and they recovered. And I don't have a dedicated thread to this tank so I'll update here.

Eventually I want a frogfish in here, so basically it'll just sit here aging until I find one. In the meantime, there's a tail spot blenny, a purple firefish and a coral banded shrimp, plus a few snails. And whatever random coral I tossed in.

So I let my digi attach to the frag rack. Any tricks to get it removed or am i stuck with breaking it? Kind of a bummer, I didn't want it here ...

best chance is get a flathead screwdriver under ,hopefully will pop off...

I keep a scotty peeler around the tank for similar situations, my screwdrivers are usually covered in diesel gunk

i usually just run over to a 3D printer and grab its scraper.

Well against my better judgement I decided to glue a couple things. It was started with a lil frag of my stetosa. I broke a piece a off moving a rock, so I thought I better glue it to a plug. Then I thought since I have everything out I'll glue a thing or two more. Then while trying to break the plug stem off I broke this no name acro. Hopefully I didn't tick off both halves.

I'm done for now.

Sometimes I accidentally break things on purpose so I can make frags.

I accidentally broke a plating monti the other day.

Well, the corals don't look irritated at all today. I was dreading walking up to rtn or something from the stress of yesterday. Both halves of the acro look fine, with I think the polyps out, hard to tell with the dim light.

It was growing well. I'm not right now at a loss for space, so I welcome growth.

maybe if you came over for CORA he could give them to you. wink wink nudge nudge. I could also take some cardinals off your hands.
