Oooo want to see a pic :(

Foot deep and corals are sat 6inch from surface. And we do get corals like this.

ahah yes !

I would make the trip, only 6hrs away from me in MS

Nemos aquarium in lawrenceville is good

dayum

HEY ! I love this idea, ICP test of it

@@fragboxcorals absolutely 💯 thanks March!

VERY rare these days, and no once it starts to go its usually it

I think he said when they ship to his store they are already pissed and if you dip them in the store chances are your going to make it worse . Definitely dip your corals when you get them home though !

Why?

no sir!

Have you checked for silicates?

@@lisadimercurio9473 I have not actually. What can that be from ? I use RODI water. I literally have had this algae since July nothing changes. I’m about to break down this system honestly. I been in the hobby for 7 years I never had this much trouble with a tank. I will never ever go with dry rock again. I think it’s this garbage Marco dry rock I started with because of how hard it is to get live rock these days

@@Botzz28 this exact thing happened to me when I used dry rock. Never again. Went back to live rock and have 2 amazing tanks with zero issues or coral deaths.

Lobophyllia

yes absolutely my friend

Unfortunately they do not, in a previous video March suggested that the permits and border clearance to move coral from Canada to the US is both time and cost prohibitive.

@@AsThe3rdEye damn, too bad

@@CalcioFan4Ever Not that I'd be interested in trading Fragbox for any international shipper, but what are you looking for that's not on WWC or Liveaquaria? Or if it's the atmosphere that you like, you can always pop in for a visit to their store in Toronto, although it will be a bit of a drive.

@@AsThe3rdEye i live in tennessee xD i cant pop in anywhere in canada. I saw a open brain coral i liked in the video. Wwc is pretty dang expensive

@@CalcioFan4Ever lol, that's fair regarding travel. I'm surprised that WWC is seen to be expensive by comparison, although I know there's variations shop to shop nevermind *country to country*. They've also dived straight into the deep end with "designer coral", so a teal in red blasto becomes a "Deadpool Blasto" and the price triples. I'm not saying that WWC or Canadian retailers are consistently cheaper, but there's some marked variations. You can grab a 3" colony of rainbow clove polyps for $99 USD at WWC whereas you can pay $50-80 for 3-8 polyps in Canada. When I'm itching to get new coral or fish I scroll through 6 different stores, I've seen one store sell black yellow tip torches for $70 and another sell for $250, and that's just stores within 120 miles of where I live.

they often don't survive, they look super cool and many new hobbyists don't know they are simply buying halves that doomed to die

@@fragboxcorals 13:36 So the issue isn't so much that you can't frag them, it's that they're difficult to frag cleanly. and that some less reputable shops sell the frags before they have had a chance to heal or prove that they survived, leaving the coral to either die in the shop tank or be bought by someone who doesn't realize the fresh cut wound, causing the coral to be stressed by the fragging then by acclimating to the client's tank. So you're not actually saying that fragging the coral is unethical, it's selling unhealed frags that's unethical, which assuming the shop doesn't point that out when they sell them, I agree.

@@AsThe3rdEye He did mention cutting your flesh. Which I don't get. I've heard others mention the ethics of cutting corals. They are animals yes, but not sentient beings. They have no central nervous system. No brain. They can't feel. They react to stimulus. I'm not sure what the issue is either.

I have a hard time resisting the urge to relocate coral, but I also have pieces that I want to grow out from an angled surface. Even if I drill holes in the rockwork, the plug stems are typically not long enough to secure the frag to stay in place against the flow and being bump by the CUC, this is especially an issue if the frag is top heavy on the plug or a small SPS stick. Have you had similar situations?

@@AsThe3rdEye No the plugs that come with my corals are long enough even to put them on the sides of my rock work without them coming out from flow, good luck 👍

Right😂
