Coral Prop Vid by Eric Borneman

[viper_930]

I saw this video a while ago and just thought it would be helpful for others to see it too. It's about coral propagation for soft corals, LPS, and also SPS. It's a hefty 326mb so right click and save target as.

Awesome video but the way he chops up that favia :scared:
As soon as my new tank gets set up, definitely getting a wet saw and a cheap favia to try it out
p.s.-I DEFINITELY vote that this be stickied and put in the archives, its a must see for anyone who wants to frag.

Great video.
His safety glasses must have fell off of his head!

 

[bonebrake]

Very cool video. After hearing what he said, I think I will frag anything fearlessly.

He is very nice and charming. At IMAC this year he went to cut an acro while on stage..and the clipped piece catapulted about 20 ft.!

Not very safe putting his fingers that close to the saw blade, did you say his name was stumpy? :scared: Great vid

Actually, the saw blade on that lapidary saw blunt and not sharp at all, just like the diamond blade on a tile saw. It won't do much cutting of fingers but believe it or not, the big danger is burning your fingers from the friction of the blade against your skin.

That was filmed by a member of the Louisiana Reef Club (not me) at a talk held at a LFS in Mandeville, LA. I am hosting it at my website... no wonder my traffic went up, all you people here downloading it!

BTW, it isn't nice to just randomly link to a file on someone's website, you should link to the site itself. But it's all good.

 

[viper_930]

I'll remember that next time.

Thanks for hosting that very informative vid!

 

[wax32]

I'm glad I could do it. He is very cool in person and signed my dog-earred copy of his book.

Wax, thank you for posting one of the most informative videos clips i've ever seen, really opened my eyes to some ideas that I've been kicking around.

 

[genius172]

great video but how long can the shrooms last outside the water?

 

[pyro]

I beleive he said a couple hours - if they are gonna be out with air blowing over them just put a moist paper towel over them.
I'm not sure if I missed it, but did he mention anything about fragging LPS such as frogspawns/hammers/bubbles or are they still at that obnoxisly difficult level?

 

[whitemike]

Very intresting I also think this should be put in the archive.
