Gatortailale February 27, 2005 Share February 27, 2005 FYI: Over 110 people came to the WAMAS winter meeting & heard an excellent talk by Steve Pro. Special Thanks to Geocorals for coming with a tank to sell corals. A lot of trades went on all day, as evidenced by 6 pages (30 posts a page) in the frag trade thread. Thanks for coming out! Nice to meet you all and put faces to names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Siders February 27, 2005 Share February 27, 2005 Yea, I was suprised by the turnout.(first meeting) Nice frags guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelg February 27, 2005 Share February 27, 2005 Thanks to Steven for an awesome and entertaining talk. I will never forget the description of getting stung by an lionfish, and now know what to do if it were ever to happen.... It was great to see so much coral exchanging hands yesterday and such a strong turnout. I know my cooler came home stuffed, and everything made it through the night just fine. Was up till about midnight making sure everything was mounted in snug (I didn't get home until about 9:00). ousnakebyte- the pea-sized "superman" is frickin' RAD! It is already my wifes favorite coral. It will make it through just fine, and I have it in a safe spot. The other montipora is super nice also. To everyone else who swapped generously, many many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unninair February 27, 2005 Share February 27, 2005 So many REEFERS! Excellent turnout and a Great crowd...... Thanks again to Lee Stearns for saving me a frag of his "Devils Hand".

Guest killrblue February 28, 2005 Share February 28, 2005 Great meeting and turnout. I won 2 cap frags from the raffle but I didn't know who it came from or what the names of the frags. I'm also having some difficulty attaching it to rock. Do I superglue or use epoxy? I'm only used to attaching polyps and softies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabrerad February 28, 2005 Share February 28, 2005 Thanks to all who traded with me. Killrblue: I personally use super glue gel. It does have to be the gel type to work well. I take whatever I am going to glue the frag to out and let it air dry for a minute or so and then add some superglue gel. Then I attach the frag and let it sit for another minute or so and then I place the frag back in the water. Some people are particular about how they attach their caps so they get maximum whirling etc., so if you are concerned about that maybe someone else can chime in. The caps do seem to encrust more quickly if you glue part of the leading edge to the rock as opposed to the cut (fragged) edge or the bottom of the cap.

michaelg February 28, 2005 Share February 28, 2005 couple ways to attach- blot frag on a paper towel and put on a gob of superglue gel. did in a bowl of tank water to "make a skin" then press onto where you want to stick it and hold in place. Sometimes it doesn;t work but if you wiggle it a little at first that usually gets the skin of glue to pop. Second way is using 2 part plumbers epoxy (or the coral epoxy- same thing). kneed up a small amount, the I like to place the cap frag into a small groove of the rock and smoosh the epoxy in to hold it there. THe rougher the surface the better the epoxy works- it isn't glue, but rather like a putty that hardens. Third way, which I don't recommend is just to wedge it in a crack real well. Too often something will knock it out before it takes hold. All the cap frags came from Craig Kuhn aka Gaitortailale. The history behind them- red one originiated from Sanjay Joshi, and the green with purple rim (if that was in there) might be the imfamous leng sy cap.

Caribbean Jake February 28, 2005 Share February 28, 2005 few things: Welcome to all new memebers. I was delighted to see how many new hands were raised when Steve asked who was there for the first time. Congratulations WAMAS officers for another "great job done". Thank you all for the frags traded, they are doing fine in my 125G. Raffle: I am so happy I won the Kalk reactor after missing the DIY Building Party due to overseas work. Chip it is working like a champ, no leaks. This is your CLUB let's make it happen again. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
