New frag trays

[selgado]

Being that I got some new frag plugs and discs, I had to get new frag trays that would hold them. These are plastic soap dishes that you would get from Wal-mart. I had to widen the holes somewhat so they would hold the frag plugs. Each tray will hold 10 plugs.

Tray #1 By the time I got to the 2 frags on the rock in the middle, I didn't feel like mounting them. Maybe later.

Tray #2 Noted are a couple awesome frags I got from Detroiter[on Michigan Reefers] at the frag swap. The bonsai frag is backwards so you can't see how awesome it really is. I was really blown away by how generous Detroiter was. I have been wanting the Superman Monti for a while and am thrilled to actually finally have one.

The frag in the middle of this tray is a small Montipora Confusa frag. There is also another one that is blocked by the plastic. These frags were a result of prying my parent colony off of the old frag tray. When it came off it left two small frags behind that I broke off and mounted.

Here is an old closeup pic of my Montipora Confusa colony:

Those are really cool trays, John! How did you make the holes bigger? Dremel tool?

I used a hole drill bit. I'm not sure the actual name for it.

I'm gonna have to try to get a picture of it.

Let's see... in the first picture, the left 2 and the one on the right rear came from Andy (icu2) in Marion, OH. The middle 2 came from Ben (bensreef) on norareef the last one is a purple polyp monti I got from Michelle (weimers75).

In the second picture, the montipora confusa frags came from my main colony, which originally came from michelle. The bonsai and superman monti came from Detroiter on MR. The mystery acro in the front right I got from Gary's Tropicals and the powder blue polyped digi behind it came from icu2.
