fraging finger leather...

[NanoReefWanabe]

i am sure it it as simple as pulling him out and slicing him up and rinsing him off?

reason i ask is the original LR rubble i stuck him on was too small i guess, i stuck it in a hole in the LR hoping it would grow over the rock and permenantly stick the piece of rubble into the LR...this didnt happen though..the leather attached to the rock in a different spot where it was touchin...now the thing has grow about 3 inches in the last month. doing so has pulled the original piece of rubble out of the LR and is now hanging form the leather, so the poor guy is supporting his weight plus the wieght of a piece of rubble from a spot that is smaller then i would like...

so basically i want to cut off the piece of rubble rock so he isnt carrying it around anymore..

so now my problem is it has attached to a piece of rock i cant take out for fear of a rock slide onto my clam...

can the leather be cut in the tank with no adverse affects to the other life in there?

i guess i could try to epoxy the piece of rubble to the main structure of the rocks too?

also can i just use a tight elastic around the piece with the rock on it like you would for a kenya tree? to basically cut it off over time by tightening the elastic?

You could use either method, cutting or slowly tightening...

You should be fine doing it in tank as long as you have good circulation and filtration.

If you cut it in the tank, refresh your carbon afterwards, then after a few days/week. That'll help pull toxins for more peace of mind.

i am not running any carbon at the moment the last time really ticked me off since i didnt get it fully rinsed and it turned everything in the tank black..took me weeks to clean it all off..
