Sfin's Dream.

A couple of days ago I fragged two leathers and made five frags. I have let them sit in the sand and now the sand has attached to the base. This morning my son and I glued them to rocks. Crossed fingers this works

Exciting! When I frag soft corals I stick a toothpick through the base then use a rubber band to gently hold them to a rock. Never tried just letting them grab on

I just use a rubber band, put the cut face down, I can usually take the band off in a couple of days.

I tried with a colt coral i had, that was one slimy ... had to use a toothpick sadly

Kenya leather has no problem fragging itself. I’ve got multiple pieces attached to snail shells right now and just pulled some off a fossil that I had in the tank. Left to its own devices that stuff will spread!

The keyna trees I have fragged have done the same thing. That's where I got the idea to let it sit in the sand for a few days and the bases could be glued. I figured it would work with my finger leathers.
I'll know in a couple of days.

@Katrina71 the leather that I just fragged and have pictures of is Green Snowflake Finger Sinularia Soft Coral. Must be a fancy name. I just cut three frags. I'll keep one for you.

 

[Katrina71]

You know I drool over your leathers! Thank you!

No problem. By the time the weather warms up it should be huge.

My sea hare is dead. It was impaled by a shell. It was fine the other day. Only thing I can think of is rock shifted. But I have no idea how that would have happened.
It smelled awful

Tomorrow I'll have to do a water change and clean filters.

Sorry buddy. That sucks. Sending hugs.

Ugh, that is a bummer Stephan.

That sucks, make sure your carbon is fresh.

Thanks. All new carbon will be placed tomorrow. Usually do five gallons at a time but today will be 10.

 

[Katrina71]

Oh no! I hate that!! I'm so sorry

 

[Fudsey]

That sux..... Sorry

 

[Erin O]

I'm so sorry, Stefan

Just so you know - you have to be a bit careful with those - especially If it was 'smelling' - perhaps do the carbon tonight?

It was smelling worse than a dead snail. I always run carbon so no worries there. I have a ton of leathers.

Today 10 gallon water change and cleaned the canister. All new carbon everything looks good.

*Edit* The canister is about 3-4 gallon. I made up the difference for another 5gal water change.
Grand total of 15 gal.
