Guest Keyoke September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 nice frags, you got those from frag exhchange? I was mightily upset that my wife pulled a trump card on me and wouldn't let me go sunday to help with the teardown (and av.. darnit) .. something about school and kids and working.. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 September 20, 2005 Author Share September 20, 2005 Got them all from the frag exchange. I am planning fragging the zoos, everything else is for people who volunteered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davelin315 September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Couldn't volunteer (let alone go!), but if you want to get rid of some, I'd be more than happy to put some in my school tank once I'm rid of aiptasia (which may be a long time!). Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 I thought the tooth pick/rubberband mounting technique was nifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 What's #8? Looks like it's some sort of encruster, I might be able to handle that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Is it too late to volunteer? I wish I could have made it. Nice frags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 September 20, 2005 Author Share September 20, 2005 I thought the tooth pick/rubberband mounting technique was nifty. 39293[/snapback] except most of them fell off. Actually a bunch of them fell off. But i guess when you do it you are not expect to bag them up and move them around. just place them in your tank. #8 i have no idea what it is. I would like to frag that one, it's bigger than 2 biz cards. Just so i keep a small piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Works for me, more chances of success (says he who has never worked up the guts to whack apart a coral ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 September 20, 2005 Author Share September 20, 2005 I will use a dremel or something. Got to get a diamond bit first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seppler September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 I couldn't find the time to volunteer this past weekend...but I did all the graphic design for the program and advertising... And I'd love frags of whatever you can spare...but it would have to wait a few weeks...I'm going on vacation and won't be back until 10/13....so whatever you can hold for me until that weekend.... Thanks so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Bob, Got one if it's the same size you need. Who was it that got the DI resin? I want to get it to them. I have some frags from the exchange that I can pass to other Volunteers. They sure liked that big ole tree I gave them. They got about 30 frags from it according to the girl there.

ErikS September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 I will use a dremel or something. Got to get a diamond bit first. What kind? I have a couple/few diamond bits - I have the diamond coated wheel & a diamond "point" (forget the number). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 September 20, 2005 Author Share September 20, 2005 THe diamond coated wheel. that is what i will need to cut it. I watched them do it and i am sure i can repeat it. What kind?

xeon September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 The diamond wheel is nice... but if you are only slicing one coral a plain ol' cutoff wheel will be more than sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeltwayBandit September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Did anyone get a frag of the Elegance coral that they had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 September 20, 2005 Author Share September 20, 2005 I wish, they were nice frags, crazy to see how they cut that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keyoke September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 I'm gonna donate from my personal stock if I may. The voulenteers were outstanding and the conference was one of the best I've ever attended (and I've been to a lot of conferences, and I'm not just talking aquaria related ones either) - all due to the work of the voulenteers. Besides those 8 frags aren't going to go far. So - 1 Golf-ball sized head of silver frogspawn 1 small frag of Kenya 1 quarter sized head of Florida Yumia (Orange/purple/green center, like what Dr Mac had) 3 quarter sized heads of blue/purple shroom I'll need to recharge my camera battery before I can post pics. Rocko, if you get ahold of that bit, lemmie know and I'll swing by so I can frag the frogspawn when I pickup those zoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikS September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 You just want the fiber re-enforced wheels? I got a boat load of them, also the diamond wheel is no longer used (done with tile cutting & I'd never use it again on that ) I work @ Mason so I could probably drop it/them off anytime.

flowerseller September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Keyoke, I'll trade you something else for the yuma. I'll also make some frags (of that tree) to add to the pool for the volunteers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that fiber wheel will work? I guess i could give it a shot. Yes, mason is really close, you would just come down 123 to burke center parkway.

ErikS September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 Yeah i would love to get the diamond wheel from you. You think that fiber wheel will work? I guess i could give it a shot. I'm the last person to ask - I have yet to cut up a coral. I would think the fiber wheels would leave some dust = not good. I'll chuck the diamond wheel in the glove box tonight, just send me a pm & we can work out the drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowerseller September 20, 2005 Share September 20, 2005 The fiber wheel will work fine for what you're cutting, it's just got a larger kerf 1/4-3/16 as opposed to 1/8 and the blade wears away. It's not like this stuff is reinforced. 12 years ago we used a hack saw to my hammer in 1/2 and it was fine. Used a new cast metal cutting blade and it went right through it.
