Sad day for my reef

[frankyrivera]

So while doing a little tlc I accidentally broke my favorite piece. I was scraping the front glass and I punched my nuclear green trumpet and smashed it into 3 pieces

This is what it looked like before I Kung fu panda'd it

And now

I didn't realize how big it got until I put the broken pieces in the bucket

It's temporarily sitting in the corner until I stop crying and figure out what I'm gonna do with it. And by that I mean how to put it back together not fragging it it's my favorite piece.

Totally feel your pain! I have done the same thing to my coral countless time. I always try to glue it back with 90% success but not always gonna get the same look.

Oh man that sucks!

 

[PL-Reef]

Awww man, that blows Franky. Sorry dude.

It's your fault Karl that OCD crap rubbed off and I was scraping everything I saw apparently you have to watch your arm as your shoulder fatigues crack something will break lol

I'm guilty of punching corals by mistake as well...it's how I got multiple montipora frags usually...hopefully you can fix it with some glue lol

 

[shecter]

Lol awesome. It should work well for you.

one a month i manage to bump my hollywood stunner one way or another....good luck glueing it- that stuff stinks when it gets on your fingers.

 

[EvilMel]

Does it stink as bad as leather corals?!? Peeeeew.

 

[Krazy_Karl]

Looks like some nice chunky "frags" for sale bud.

 

[frankyrivera]

Well epoxing was harder than I thought. Especially since it was being set in front Of the rock and not just simply resting on top so weight was an issue lol. I tried my best here's hoping it sticks

 

[LeslieP]

Good luck, it was beautiful

 

[frankyrivera]

Yeah that epoxy stuff does stink lol. Karl I might have that one chunk sold already lol. Here's what I was left with

Before

After epoxy

 

[Lambert58]

Not too bad! Post some pics after the polyps come out. That frogspawn is pretty sweet too, don't punch it.

 

[LeslieP]

Give it a couple of month's growth and most won't even be able to tell it happened

 

[frankyrivera]

Lambert under neath it is my massive branching hammer
Here's a pic before the disaster lol

 

[frankyrivera]
