I want to extend a thank you to Adam and Jess for letting me stay a whopping 9 hours at their house and spend 7 of it helping frag their stuff. I would also like to extend a very personal thank you to them for keeping my stuff during the Light Bulb Meltdown of 2006. If it wasn't for them (and others), I would have most likely lost everything.
Alright! Now down to the juicy stuff. I made the dreaded trek to Adam's home in OKC from Stillwater. I woke up early under the assumption that the roads were going to be bad. I left at my proposed time at 10 AM think that it would take me until 12 PM to get down there. It turns out that the roads were pretty much clear all the way to his place. He graciously let me in as I showed up unexpectedly at 11 AM. While he finished some last minute preperations for my arrival, I got to play with Max the dog and Hercules the cat while chatting up a storm with Adam and Jess. After Adam got ready, we made a short trip to Reef Shop for some extra water for topoff and makeup water. After we came home, we were ready to set things up for the great fragging experiment. There were a lot of things that Adam needed to frag, and I needed to clean up what was left of my corals after they recovered in his tank. After all, there was no sense of having a frag disk that was 2" in diameter with only 3 polyps of Zoanthids on them. So, we finally get set up in his fish room, and I took a few snap shots. Here they are.
Here is Adam's tank before all the chaos began
This Bubble Coral is the reason why we had to do a lot of fragging and cleaning of Adam's stuff. Just check the sweepers out on this guy!
This Frogspawn and this Candy Cane were on the receiving end of some of the Bubble Coral's sweeper tentacles. So, we had to clean up a few dead heads on them. The Candy Cane was actually in great condition and it was many months ago when it was stung.
After we fragged the above Frogspawn, we placed it back in the tank near some Pom Pom Xenia to keep them in check and sting them back. Here they are growing and pulsing wildly.
And of course, Adam is an LPS nut, and really loves Euphyllia, so here is another one of his many Frogspawns
But even though Adam loves his LPS, he needs something to eat all that Phytoplankton that he cultures, so here is his Tridacna crocea clam!
And lastly, here is one of his poor clownfish cowering in terror of my +3 Vorpal Razor Blade of the Sea before I cut the head off of one of the Frilly Mushrooms that the clownfish hosts in.
Finally, after all seven hours of havoc on the residents of his tank, we finally have lots of extra room.

And the added room is great! My scooter and Mandarin have been having a field day ever since. My clowns have adjusted and moved back to the frogspawn. Your Vorpal Razor Blade must have really done a number over on him, lol.
Adam, I think that you have that list covered, but I'm not sure if we left any out. As he mentioned, about half of the fragging was for the purpose of cleaning up to make extra space.
