I thought it was a pretty good pick up cuz anotehr stalk is alredy growing frm the rock. Always, i need to trim the ONE big stalk on it down jus a tad. Where and how do i frag this thing? Any help would b greatly appreciated and pictures of doing the actual fraging would be fantastico! Link to comment
Styxnpicks Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I usually reach a pair of scissors in the tank and snip off what i need, but than again my kenya tree is fraging itself now Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 just cut it then either sew it to a piece of rock or lay it on it so it dosent move Link to comment
g0tfish Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 i can cut it anywhere? but parts of it are like really thick u think i can cut the branches off without damaging the whole thing? Kenyas are pretty hardy right? Also.. super glue help in securing them to a rock? Link to comment
Styxnpicks Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 treat it like a tree, you can cut a limb or two off but don't like cut it at the stump if in doubt cut less off, Link to comment
Styxnpicks Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 just don't cut the main part, and don't freak out when it deflates, it does that when you trim it it'll be fine the next day Link to comment
Scott Wilson Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 If you can remove it and want to frag it take a boll of tank water add a drop of iodine in it and cut off the branches that you want to remove let them fall in the boll. Gove the parent one dip in the boll and then replace it in the main tank. To attach the frags you need the following: Superglue gel Small pieces of rock thin strips of bridal veil netting 1/2" by 2-3' long Take a dab of glue and attach the netting to side of the rock. Place the coral on the top and gently twist the netting a few times so it is like a string. Secure the base of the frag to the rock whit this "STRING" and then glue the netting to the other side of the rock. This is a great way to frag the coral with out stressing out the coral. This will hold it in place and work great. Scott Link to comment
Brokken Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Kenya tree will pretty much frag itself. It'll soon drop branches off and your issue will not be of how to propagate it as much as how to control it. Take my word: You don't want to help it along. Link to comment
