One day, I want one of those. Not this time, I'm sure demand is quite heavy and Colorado is a tad far. But one day, I hope that strain gets propagated to where it becomes available. I seem to be developing a soft spot for blue Acro's, and that thing is stunning. Wow your coral flat is beautiful, as always Sir. total jaw-dropper.

Thank you for the great video. I am just getting into Acropora so it will most likely be a while before I am ready to frag what I have. One thing I have started doing for gluing frags to plugs or rocks is a 10 mL syringe. For me, a syringe gives me a little more control of how much and where I apply CA. I found the syringes on Amazon. I put the tip of the syringe inside the bottle of CA, suck out roughly 10 mL of CA and get to work. As long as I do not suck any water into the syringe the CA left in the tip does not harden and I can use the syringe over a period of days to weeks.

thanks for the tip, we'll have to keep that in mind for specific applications of CA

Pro tip: instead of putting your finger behind the blade and hoping you don't slice into it, use a regular old #2 pencil, flip it over, and use the eraser end to steady the thing you're cutting.

I love those ceramic frag plug rocks, I use them almost exclusively for my little zoa farm. They frag plug leg idea is great I need to implement something similar to mine. About every 3 weeks I need to lift them up and use the maxi jet to suck up all the detritus that builds up and is trapped underneath them.

Old fart here just getting back into this after a decade out, do you med dip the frags or colony after fragging? It is something that used to be a given but so much has changed since I left I have been stuck on youtube for 3 weeks just catching up. Also the little tips frag at the end.... those types have always been my favorite! I cannot tell you how many times I have saved a frag simply by popping a tip off and passing it to a friend (and the other way around).

Just got some new nicer frags. One is supposed to turn orange and is a milli. The other is a thinner branch acro that should have yellow polyps. I have all my acros about 6 inches under the water with a hydra 52 turned way up. Should that light be enough to color acros up?

Yeah but everyone will tell you to probably start your light at lower intensity and photoperiod before you go and blast them - try using the light acclimation setting in myAI to slowly ramp up the brightness over a month or so
