Is It Worth It?

[Deepsea2005]

Hi guys,

According to the growing rate of my Efflo in the pass two years, it will out-growth of my 60x30x25 tall tank in the near future!!!
I am worndering should I sell it, with a broken heart, or buy a 4x4 tank for it.
I'm really love it, but it worth

why not frag it? cut 2-3 inches (or even more its that big) off the whole outside rim with a dremel and then cut them into smaller frags? there was a thread a long time ago where a guy did this

here's an illustration:

and when you're done, you can send some frags to the people that responded to your thread.

I'd try to keep it intact..... let it grow into the rocks or back of the tank. I'd eliminate other corals taking up space.

If I was fragging it I wouldn't do it all the way around like the example. Maybe hack off the back part of it facing away from view. Then let it grow into some rockwork.

I have one that's about 12" now & wouldn't consider hacking it up like that. Mine has different growth & is tiering, so it's a lot easier to frag a chunk off.

I'd make a piece like that the centerpiece of your display.

Woaw.... Awesome... yeah get a bigger tank.....

 

[Deepsea2005]

Thanks guys.
I think I will keep it. Anybody know a good vendor for a 4x4x25 tank? Should I buy a acrylic or a starphire glass?

Thank you,

JOSHUAB

I bought it at my LFS a littel more than two years ago.

 

[JOSHUAB]

was it aquacultured or a frag???

 

[niko5]

Bigger Tank!!!

That thing is too big and beautiful to frag!

 

[Jovreefer]

wow... I'm suprised by people every day. Frag it & spread it "just incase" so there will always be a backup colony.
