Im just about to frag some toadstool, Im gonna use a regular blade to cut down the middle, should I boil the blade to sterilize it?

Ill post pics of the result.

Thanks

Sam
 
The sharper the blade, the better. A clean, new razor blade will be perfect -- wash off the oil coating first, though.
 
What I was most suprised of was the amount of water that came out of the toadstool.Very easy overall I got some clean chicken wire cutters and snapped the rock it was on perfectly down the middle. Took me no longer than 2 minutes.:D I have them on soem frag racks I made with moderate flow for now, will it be okay to continue with teh same lighting?

Thanks

Before:
1- 6' inch toadstool

Hey Sam,
Is that the large toadstool frag you got from me? I would also run some carbon, these things secrete alot of bad stuff after they've been fragged. Also give the frags a little less light initially while they recover.

I just got done cleaning myself after seeing that 3' toadstool. Umm, how long did it take to get that size? What's your secret? Steroids?
 
I love seeing big, mature leathers! That's what it's all about, not frag tanks. That's an awesome specimen; nice growth pattern.

LOL, actually it was a little over 2' across....literally taking over the tank. This picture was from almost two years ago. If I remember correctly it took about 4-5 years to grow to that size from a 4" colony. No secret...just fed the tank and changed the water.

Thanks, Nicole.....even in that picture, many pieces have been fragged off of it. I try to frag it so that the remaining speciman looks natural.
