    I love how this was slowly built into what it is Nicolas, I'm like 7 months into piecing my first reef together and it's massively motivated by you hehe.

    I do my best with the tool I have but I'm curious to know what some of you, the technique you use to frag your coral?
    ReVive: amzn.to/3lV9KuG (Think about it in the same way you use H2O2 or Alcohol on your wound)
    Seachem Glue: amzn.to/2ZbXsV2 (My favorite Cyanoacrylate Gel, tested 13 types so far)
    (Check in description for the rest)

      The first coral I propagated was GSP. I bought two frags of a nice looking GSP and sandwiched a bare plug between them. I think the next one I will do is Leptosaris as I could just use a razor to slice me a little piece. I've been thinking about taking a Dremel to a Chalice for a while but it seems a little more intermediate.

      This isn't about fragging but will help you with aiptasia. Identify the aiptasia position. Heat a blunt hypodermic needle over a cigarette lighter until it has a lovely glow. Pull the rock out of the water and rub the needle over the aiptasia position. I've used this method for 20 years and it works 100% its very accurate and the aiptasia does not spread.

      ​@@simonlockley-evans9349 Holymoly, you are not kidding around haha, do you work on animal farm and make ID prints? :P
      The challenge with aiptasia comes when you don't want to take the rock out (for various reasons).
      I will definitly try your method one day, just to hear the sound of cry/burn, like a omelette on the morning lol

    Yep, super video! Now I'm so ready to start my own nano "haircut!"
    You should consider using a 5 gallon jug "always on" water change. That where you can use it little fishies 5 gallon salt packets and just mix your salt water and swap out the jug and it will continue your water changes and won't mess up anything in your tank. I can literally do a water change in under 4 minutes. Most of the time is just mixing the water and the salt but in fact that's not even necessary based on the fact that you're only moving a tiny bit of the water into your tank at any given time.

    • @ChippWalters
      @ChippWalters 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Here's a video: th-cam.com/video/Ob3HTGZr9ZQ/w-d-xo.html
      You won't need the heater because you already have one in your sump. You can cut a bulkhead in your sump or do a siphon overflow and use an Apex Pmup pump which works really well.

    • @AquaSplendor
      @AquaSplendor  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You mean a continuous water change?
      Since couple months now I always have my bucket of saltwater that I mix in advance. Doing the water change isn't that long (around 5min?) the mixing I just let the pump for a while and once I feel like it I remove the pump and clean it (tap water...) put the pump back, store the saltwater bucket.
      I change my habit a little bit (by doing in advance) because I've notice in the past I was waiting for the salt to be fully mix or I was playing with the level of salinity (sometimes I put too much salt) Now think about this I probably should mark the bucket and mark a bowl for the amount of salt it need to be 35ppt... uh.. anyway, I'm lazy.

    • @ChippWalters
      @ChippWalters 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AquaSplendor Yes, it's a fixed volume continuous water change. It just makes it very easy to add a water change or multiple water changes to your system without having to empty the tank and fill it back up. It also provides a great way to add water volume to your tank because now you have five more gallons for everything.

    Beautiful reef tank, I'm upgrading from my 125 gallon tank to an 180 gallon tank. I want to do an island aquascape and use a minimum amount of corals to allow them to grow to full sized colonies.
