All my frags opened up and the colors are awsome. Overall I am very pleased and will be buying from midwest frags again in the future.

Rondo is the man ....Later see you all at the meeting..
I put mine in last nite, and honestly I was shocked at the thread algae. It was on every frag plug but one. And I went back and looked at their site, and found many of my WISIWIG frags as "SOLD". And on none of them was the long threads of algae presen in the picture. Now it's long threads, waving in the current. I removed what I could.
I know for many people this is not an issue. But in my little nano, I don't have any real herbivores ("don't put a tang in that little tank!"). So it's an issue. Now - for dealing with Midwest Frags, I've introduced a new algae into my environment that I've had no evidence of to this point.
Bummer. First algae problem I've had with a vendor. I'm hoping these will be some d*mn good looking frags. Based on this single experience, I would not recommend this vendor without qualification.

Hopefully your hermits & snails will take care of it. If you find it to be a big problem, let me know. I can hold them for a few days for you and my crew will decimate anything algae on those frags. The raptors I got at CMAC had algae all over the plug, my crew picked it clean in a few hours.

Yes I got very little algae on the plugs also but if your system has nothing to feed it then it should wilt away very quickly without any aid from a cuc. Can you post a pic of all this algae because the very little on my frags is barely noticeable.
I will be putting in another order in the close future as soon as they get back in some of the stuff they had out of stock. Again, I am very happy with my frags.

Thanks Jeff....All my frags look great and are full of color which to me is the most important thing to me..I also had some algae but by the morning it was all gone.. my cuc took take care of that..I will post pic's of them later.
I think we should do this once a month.
Thanks

Nope. Don't have pics. Nothing to photograph because I abraded the frag plugs to get off as much as I could before I put it in the tank. But a description is easy... hair algae, green, threads up to 1/4" long waving in the dip water I used.
Now don't get me wrong. The frags are GREAT! Absolutely lovely, all opened up. They all look great, except the one I accidentally destroyed scraping the algae off.
So their frags appear to be really, really nice. But IMO sending frags with algae is bad form. For what frags cost, they should not be the source of introducing pests (be it animal or plant) into a tank. Or maybe that's just the newbie in me... expecting too much. But I have bought a lot of frags this year, and this was a first.

Thanks to you guys and midwest frags for everything going so smooth. Glad everyone likes their frags. When they get the frags back in that I am waiting for I will post a thread to see who wants in on another order.

+1 on the bubble algae. Also, I think that second frag maybe showing signs of the zoa pox. Is that yellow spot supposed to be like that? If not maybe do the Furan dips just in case.
