alright, here the mother colonies, fully open and happy (sorry for weak pic quality)



and i found a nice smooth partial Conch shell that should provide a nice super smooth surface for my entry. advantage: saltn00b.
here is "Race-Car-Got : X" seconds after re-entry. the stubborn blues are already half opened.

Sorry, just got free from family getting in town from Korea today for fathers day and didnt want to be jump the gun and do it early even though I might need the early start over everyone. Ill be fraggin tomorrow and surely get good results and surpass all the others rushing to be the first (ive rarely ever seen the pole setter in Nascar WIN a race). Its not who gets out of the gate first that wins, its the stride and pace like in the Kentucky Derby that wins. So keep up, Its the guy from the back of the pack you need to watch out for.................................................. hahaha.
Good luck all, and may the best fraggin win!!!

I went with the scattered method and tried to use the rock itself as a tool
Cloves I cut very close to the middle of the stalk where they turn from pure flesh to a hard stalk. facing them at different angles and so the heads could get extension into the flow.
The rock itself will be with its back to the flow so it will overflow over the top and catch more debris and green water from the rocks turbulence for the polyps. Hard to see in the pics but they are in groups of 3 for the polyps and scattered for the cloves.
It is still in my MH tank on the frag rack but I will acclimate it to the nano with the swirly bulb tomorrow.

while the theory sounds good the swirly bulb isn't going to cut it for growth rate...... (heckle heckle)

sounds like a lot of hot air for a rock with a small incline....

Okay guys, problem has been fixed, I just didn't take a picture of it. I grabbed the wrong frag, that was a blue one that I was going to place on another rock. I accidentally placed 2 blues on that rock....And it wasn't 5, it was ONLY 4...LOL.....

All right, I am back from vacation. I will try to frag today. Clove is officially dead. It is my understanding that I need to put 3 polyps on a rock from each of the (2) colonies and then take pics.....right.

Clove was DOA from a 2.5 day trip in 90+ degrees weather. Electroshock and other proprietary techniques pronounced hin DOA.
