Bart, to each his own sometimes. last year, I printed photos of my corals and then had them all in baggies and sold that way. there are others that will take a frag tank with powerheads, heaters and lighting and sell that way.

you can frag now or the day before.

Bart give me a call sometime after 12 on Sunday and I will give what advice I can to help.

Words of wisdow, if you use a heater, use a controller. I lost a ton of coral due to my heater getting stuck. We setup the night before and the heater stuck on and nuked about 30 pieces. The farther out you frag it, the longer it has to heal and in my opinion and the greater the chance of survival through all of the transitions. Bring styrofoam coolers with heat packs wraped in towls to lay around your corals without cooking the water. That is all I can think of at the moment, but I am sure more will chime in with more tips. Hope that helps.

FYI, I will have about 6 styrofoam shipping containters at the swap for those in need.

Take good pictures of the mother colonies you are fragging from to have on display. Bill moved coral like an Amway salesman on speed at the chatt frag swap one year with great pics of his corals and a good display with frag tank and lights.
