Kip - thanks! Was impressed when I clicked on your your little red house.

tatoofr - I will try and post a pic for you.

Essentially, pegging consists of drilling small holes in your liverock, drilling small holes in the base (rock) of your coral, and insert a piece of rigid tubing (such as rigid airline tubing) to place the coral. This allows you to remove a coral at any time for fragging, to change your look ect., but most importantly to put the coral exactly where you want it, not where it has to go... allows easy coral placement on vertical slopes/walls.

Mike - not selling any frags untill early May as I am preparing for an exam, but after that just let me know what you are looking for.

Dave

Thanks Dave,

I consider myself a beginner. To me whatever is colorful and looks good. Maybe I can come over to your place and we can talk.
Do you have any purple Monster?

Mike

Hey 250,
I sent you a PM on the cabinet question you asked. I will get some updated pics tonight so you can see the completed version, with books on the bookshelves

CONGRATULATIONS ON TOTM!!!! Your corals have grown out since your last posts! Like I have said in the past, you have the skills to grow SPS.

Congrats on the TOTM.

 

[Eklikewhoa]

Thanks boys (and girls of corse)! Feels weird not checking the SPS forum first thing when I log in, as I am following the TOTM thread in Reef Discussion.

I can post better quality SPS pics from the TOTM in this thread if anyone want to see them. I like this one I recently added from a trade with a buddy.

Wow nice corals! Im curious as to how long you've run the XM 20ks and if you feel as if they give better growth than the XM 10ks in your experience.

Great tank!

I started out with 10K Ushio's, then went to 20K XM's. I am sure the growth is slower, but that is ok with me.

Even though I essentially started with all frags in this tank, growth never really presents a problem/issue for me.

I have heard of pegging corals, but never tried it.

Do you just superglue the frag to the rigid airline?

 

[250G]

nope...

drill a hole in a small pice of liverock, then glue the frag to it. Insert the rigid tubing in the hole you just drilled, do not glue it in there as you may want a shorter/lonfer piece in the future.

Insert the frag/coral in the holes in your aquascaping.

Remove the coral whenever you so desire.

that greeen is amazing ive never seen anything like that before.

 

[250G]

Thanks. That green is awesome - and the orange/red tips is what makes is stand out as an unusual piece (at least to a few of us). As this thread seems to be sticking around, and is a good reference for me that I willl be able to find, I may start adding some of my pictures to this thread that I have been contributing in other threads.

Go for it... havent seen any other threads except your TOTM one. Im only subscribed to this one though.

 

[250G]

I will try and get to that soon - no idea there were subscribers :strange:

A lot of the photos I posted in the thread below are in the TOTM feature, however they may be higher quality here. I will post them in this thread, but you can also see them here.
