Proper fragging techniques

anyone who has experience fragging SPS,LPS,and softies please explain your fragging practices and techniques for raising happy and healthy corals.;D thanx

 

That's what I do for a living But many would not approve of my methods starting with water parameters & quality..Its a bit more to it rather then snipping and gluing especially when dealing with LPS corals

 

Can you go into more detail concerning the actual steps you would take to frag a piece of acro or euphillyia???? And are the techniques usually different say for a piece of montipora would you frag that differently than you would frag a piece of acro????

 

the euphyllia is super easy you just take some wire cutters or bone cutters and just cut off one or as many branches as you like. you don't cut the live tissue just the lower skelton part. you could probably just use your hands to crack the branch. "Frag" of the Month - November 2006 - Propagating Euphyllia sp. (Frogspawn) - Reefkeeping.com that is a good article

 

thanx

 

I studied up on fragging techniques and i am definitely not looking forward to fragging bubble coral.

 

Try this book by Anthony Calfo on Propagation techniques as well!
