Mounting frags

bubbaque · Feb 8, 2019

I received an order from a r2r member named Therman today. I was very impressed with how his frags looked right out the bag. Here is a CC WD jr I received this morning and it's been in the tank a couple of hours.

So what do you sue those tiles for?

I mount the acros to them. I don't ever cut the base on them so I just let the coral cover them. If people want frags I cut the branches off but not the base.

Tim (Therman) lives a couple hours from me. Great guy with great coral. Always see him at area frag swaps. We just both happen to be attending one later this month. Lots of hobbyist listings for the swap (inlcuding Tim and myself): https://www.reeftrader.com/swaps/83/listings

Yup he is one of the best seller I ever ordered from. I love his acros.

Your "list" has got to be getting very long with all these new pieces your adding! Very nice stuff.

It's getting pretty long but I have been slowing down on the purchases as my tanks fill up.

Looks like it’s time to speed up your tank purchases

Wait until tomorrow... It's only Saturday. I bet he'll give us an update then. [emoji16] #dadjokes

Not yet. I only had it a month and a few days. Color looks pretty much the exact same but it's encrusted the glue more but besides that I would say it looks the same.

I remember when I upgraded tanks this coral was practically dead, I think there was about 5 polyps left. There was so little left I almost threw it in the garbage but I didn't have a lot of corals at the time so I figured I would try to grow it out and I am glad I did.

I just received an order from him as well, I’m a couple hrs away so it was a quick trip for the frags but they came out of the bags with full polyp extension as well. He is second great purchase I’ve received from forum members here with yours being the first.

Nice recovery. How long of a timeframe is this in?

I think about 2 years.

Thank you! It means a lot when I hear people are happy with the frags they receive from me.
