Hey mytee, am I better off just waiting a week or 2 for these guys to heal before I give them out? I'd hate to have the frags die when I give them to people....
Pat it forward frag...

Hello guys,
Do any of you that I gave one of the pass if forward gobstopper frags to have any frags ready?
DolphinLVR was #1 on my list, but never got his frag. He just PM'd me that he was interested in picking it up now. I've given out 5 frags to PSAS and don't have any more ready at this moment though, so was thinking if any of you have a frag ready for distribution, I could connect him with one of you guys.
If not, I can grow him out another frag, but its gonna take a bit of time.
Thanks!

No Worries on the time Rob! As I said, I have been extremely busy with work and Family issues, so I am just now starting to get time to dedicate to the tank again.

We might be able to frag ours. How many polyps should be on it for a good frag? I will have to go count how many we have.

NOTHING
at least two polyps would be good they are good growers and handle fragging well..

If they are on a frag plug, you can probably just cut part of the plug off with bone cutters. Might need a razor to finish cutting the mat. You can also use a razor and just carefully cut the mat between polyps, then scrape the polyps off (trying to cut below the skin, taking a fine layer of the frag plug/rock with them)
Zoas are pretty resistant.
I was able to get a couple more frags off my mother colony. I'll hook up dolphin, but you guys should get some frags out, as they are pass it forward frags
Goal is to get them out to all of PSAS, so we all have designer zoas

I try to get some on a plug so I can let the 'mother colony' grow without being fragged. Then as they grow on the second frag plug, you can cut the plug up and get more frags.
You guys have 4 to distribute to psas I'll have given out 6 once I hook dolphin up.
Bigblue wants a frag once he gets back from the middle east. If others want, speak up

Not sure if I am going to make it to the meeting this weekend or not. Going to try, but might have to work.
Any of you guys I've given frags to going and have a frag ready to give out yet? DolphinLVR will be there and needs a frag. He was early on my list of 4, but we haven't gotten together yet. I'm up to maybe 6 frags distributed to PSAS now.
Hope you guys are getting them passed forward

Unfortunately ours got taken over by GHA in the main DT for a while and i had to move it to the QT which doesn't have the same good lighting so we have not seen a ton of growth. I will see if I can cut a couple off though and bring them up for Jeff. I will try it tonight and post back on here if I will have them or not.

Sweet. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to have to work this weekend and not be able to make it, but we'll see what tomorrow brings

hey eric, read somewhere else on here you had reduced your feeding to once per day to combat algae problems (i think thats what it was.)
I had an autofeeder going every morning and was feeding every other day in the evening, and was having some issues.
I'm now feeding every other day, with no autofeeder, and my tank looks a hundred times better. Now takes 2 months to get the same algae buildup on the glass that I used to get in 5-7 days, and it is still decreasing.
Might want to cut back even further and let some of the food waste get used up.
If I want to do a huge feeding (ie, all the lps, fish, sps, nems, etc.) I also try to schedule that close to water change time, which I've been doing every other week (~15% change)

I have bee blessed with good growth on a coral a lot of people want..
I have a EVERLASTING GOBBSTOPPER frag
It has 7 polyps on it.. yes you heard me right 7 polyps..
Cherry corals was selling 3 polyps for 60 bucks..
and I sell these for 25 each polyp
This frag is going a PSAS member that has had there tank running for at least 6 months and has other Zoo's and paly's and shows me proof of membership and at least posts pics of there stuff or I have seen it in person to know these baby's will be cared for..
SECOND, the member MUST Pay forward 4 polyps, (I don't care if they are single and or all in one shot) before selling any to anyone..
here is a pic of the polyps but not the actual frag.
Those things are pretty! Ship me some

Don't want to side track this thread but yes, you are right Rob. We cut our feeding back to once a day in the evening. Between that and siphoning the rocks off 1-2 times a week, running the best GFO that BRS offers and water changes every 2 weeks (15-20 gal) our algae is definitely on the decline. We can actually see our rocks now instead of big green fuzz balls.
