Uploadead Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 How do I go about fragging these? I accidently call them Parazoanthids, but anyway, theyre like a light brown with a green centre. How would I frag them? Are they in any demand at-all? (In Britain) Could they be worth enough to make money to polish up the tank once I had a frag tank? (I doubt it ) Thanks in advance, Uploadead Link to comment
The Propagator Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Those are green palythoas, and the yello wpolyps on the outer edge are the Parazoanthids Those are kind of saturated right now in the market actualy. So you rprobably nt gonna make a killing off of them any where but Ebay ( provided its a week where every one feals like spending and all that) You can actualy chip up the rock they are on with a chisle and frag them that way , r you could use a screwdriver and a hammer. I know that sounds drastic and all that, but thats exactly how I frag thing on thick rock Link to comment
Uploadead Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I was going to trade them into an LFS who don't currently have a stockist yet, and was thinking of taking advantage of that. The people who run it always smile when i go in, because theyre a really nice family who know im going not just to browse Link to comment

Asin Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Bump! I need help! where is a good place to buy fragging plugs from? Do I superglue them onto the plugs or what? I cut mine with shears, including the rock, like Propagator said. If you cut them right, with the rock, you won't need plugs and yes you can superglue them. Link to comment
PieNinja Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 you can always try to glue the frags onto small pieces of LR or to tiny white marble tiles. Link to comment

baj Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 http://www.garf.org have fun! Man, I had read their Xenia fragging page, it sounds like they split the atom or something. They can use their skills at writing grants for research institutes, they'd be really good at it. Link to comment
The Propagator Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Read thier "bullet proof reef" page. scarey stuff LOL!! I mean come on man! Tin foil ? Link to comment
baj Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Haha, yeah. Here is an example, excerpt from a GARF article (link: http://www.garf.org/BulletProofReef/bullet04/bullet.html ) "I really love the arches that Eddie Postma makes. I found out that I am not alone. I went outside to hand pick the arches and they were all gone. I asked Eddie if he would go rescue me some from our curing site. He found many of them for me to choose from. The arches give you the ability to place animals up closer to the light and also allows the fish to hide and to swim through them. Make sure you have secured the arches in place so that when you glue other animals to them they do not fall over. Again you can not make a mistake you can move the rock and design your own landscape very easily. It kind of reminds me of gardening. Everyone has their own idea on what they want and what they think is beautiful. Because of this fact it is what makes art so fun and each project unique." Consider the take-home message in that paragraph. You can state it in one line but they stretch it. I'm hard pressed to find where 'research' fits in, other than the 'R' in GARF. I dont see any original idea at least in the area of reefkeeping. Link to comment
