Today is agood day for my tank. The orange digi that scott fragged for me is growing fast and the colors look awesome. The tiny frag of pokerstar I got at the auction had been bleaching for a long time, but when I looked today the areas that had previously been bleached are coloring up again and there is even new growth. I had been very worried because Scott came over and we glued down all the frags that I had recently accumulated. Some of the pieces didn't look very good after this and seemed pretty stressed. So it is a great relief to have them start to take a turn for the better and show new growth and better color.

Just because frags are swapped from one domestic tank to another, does not negate the need for a quarantine tank. I haven't read anywhere that you guys are QT your specimens from other people's tanks for 3-4 weeks then adding it to your system. I think it only makes sense that if you don't want other people's; strains of resistant algea, flat worms, reb bugs, etc, it would make sense to QT everything you get for a while!
What could happen, especially at these local frag swaps, is that everyone's tank could be infected with the same harmful organism and wipe out everyone's tank in the area. That wouldn't be too much fun.
I would strongly suggest everyone set up QT tanks and then participate every other month in a swap rather than monthly. Because the desire to get your new aquisition into the display would force you to either put a new specimen into the QT tank, or move an old QT specimen into the display too soon to make room for the new aquisition.
Anyway, sorry for the losses, but that's my .02
Oh yeah, and none of this may be any of my business since I have never participated at a frag swap. It does sound fun, I just don't have anything to frag or swap

I'm finally able to think about the frag-swap- the Christmas gigs have slowed down. When is it again?

Depending on the date, I plan on fragging all the SPS that is in my display. Will try and get to it this weekend, so they might encrust by the swap.
