cutting thick corals

[Sparky0028]

I really need to thin out my tank. The sps i have are too thick to frag with traditional cutters, is there anything else i could use to do this with out destroying the aquascape.

Thanks

I regularly use a Felco #2 Garden Hand Pruner and even, on occasion, a hacksaw blade.

Thanks Michael
When you use tha hack saw blade, doesn't the action disturb the rest of the rocks?
Also I have been a fan of your tank for years, nice job.

Yep, which is why I'll only occasionally use it. And then mainly for cutting through large tables, efflos, and the like. Definitely a two person job in or out of the tank.

And thanks for the very kind words, btw.

Michael - where can we see the latest pictures of your tank? It's been awhile since i've seen it post crash.

Check Jawsee reeftank out, he uses a small grinder to cut up coral.

Thanks everyone, the grinder is a great idea but i would have to take a huge rock out, not ready for that.
Micheal- i had no idea your tank crashed but man do you come back strong, wow great job.
