FlowerMama Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Damn, I did that with a poci before, I didn't think it was going to fling itself like it did from the pressure of the cut on the cutting board. Like I was worrying about the wrong piece to go flying. 1 Quote Link to comment

Like I was worrying about the wrong piece to go flying. yea, i couldn't cut the frag underwater so i ended up unmounting the big colony and cutting it slightly out of the water...argh...so frustrating. should have just left it alone =(. now i have to buy frag plugs and frag racks to hold stuff. omg, i am turning into those kind of reefers that sell stuff out of their tanks.... 4 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well, at least you can sell those pieces off and make some money. Wow, now think back, seems so long ago we were talking about ricordeas & SaltCritters due to their prices. You too Ninja can sell at those prices!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

You too Ninja can sell at those prices!!! hahah i plan to mount all the little pieces and grow them out to be sellable....although i am still loosing money over this since the cost of frag plugs and frag racks and time far outweight the money gained from selling frags if I even sell them vs giving them away.... 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, when you factor it all in you get a little more sympathetic to the LFS that sells little birdsnest frags for $25. On the other hand, it's nice to have frags to trade! 3 Quote Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Came home to this. RTN on the new mariculture SPS colony after I fragged it into pieces so I can mount it. That sucks I've had hit and miss luck with the mariculture pieces. I just bought another mariculture piece today (a green birdsnest mini colony) and am hoping that it doesn't RTN/STN on me. On the bright side, some of the mariculture pieces come with cool acrocrabs! 1 Quote Link to comment

On the bright side, some of the mariculture pieces come with cool acrocrabs! birdsnest should be fine since they are so hardy. but no more mariculture acros for me. never had him last more than a month. My new thing is to trade pieces in for store credit . So far I've done it with trumpets and leathers. i wish my LFS will allow trades. most give you nothing for corals =( Quote Link to comment

But I have a "new" LFS in my town and they rock . lucky you! i gonna ask other LFS this weekend if they will take in trades. i have big colonies i need to trade away... 1 Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Soooo no good frags of the bird nest or poci? Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Soooo no good frags of the bird nest or poci? I gave another member nice frags of green birdsnest and purple stylo last week. where were you??? let me mount and grow out my current frags for a bit =P Quote Link to comment
blkhwkz Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Sometimes AP will do trades. I traded in a large cynarina, of course he had just gotten a shipment with 2 in that morning so that devalued it pretty quickly Quote Link to comment

It had grown to big, this was before I got my Reefer, so I had no room for it. 1 Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Started with just glueing down ONE frag...then turned into 2 hours ordeal of moving corals all over the place. And I need a new frag rack. Any recommendations? I got too many frags 4 Quote Link to comment
