thanks guys.....totally new at this

Some frags, if abused, can take up to 2 weeks to re-open....


That said, my frags ALL open within a few hours of cutting....
But, I goss hands like a surgeon, son!!!!


EDIT: put all new frags on the sandbed until properly healed!

I agree w/ primso, but will add that you should give your corals a good couple weeks to heal no matter what after fragging them.

true. vewwy true.




lisdexlyc much?

haha!

nah, it was just 430 in the morning.

i've heard vitamin c helps them too... just dont get the kind with sodium cause it'll raise your salinity
