    Results!

    Wasted no time...

    Here is what I did...




    [​IMG]

    Gathered stuff. No plastic toothpicks, but found some thin weedeater line in garage that would work just fine when sharpened on one end. (Just cut diagonally)



    [​IMG]

    Super-glued pieces of sharpened line into holes in coral rubble.




    [​IMG]

    Skewered frags of colt - then secured on with small piece of cut rubber band with little hole in center to served as a "stopper" - to keep frag from floating away.




    [​IMG]

    Returned finished pieces to tank...couple in main, couple in nano. Low flow areas.​

    :confused: - will see how they do.

    Notes:


    1. Very, very slippery coral and hard to handle.
    2. Stinks.

    Tooth picks will pull through and all the veil and string in a PITA best way I fond is to just take a little bowl fill it with some rubble and snip the coral and let them fall in and wait for them to connect to the rubble

    Thats why you put something on the other to work as a stopperto prevent from slipping off like omar did.
