Coral Frag Rubble Mounting
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2003 2:19 pm
Are you mounting your frags to your larger live rock to keep them in place? I had just been gluing mine to rubble or a clam shell and then I had a nice shelf-like rock I placed the small frags on. I'm tired of these darned snails knocking my frags around, climbing on them, etc.. I hate snails! I've only got 10 snails in here.. but they seem to like to hang out around my sps frags. The just killed my favorite one, it was really looking very good, was a very small piece that I didn't think would make it but came from a beautiful mother colony from the display tank at aqua works. Anyways.. I find it a day later face down in the sand on the bottom of the tank.. This little fellow was really fuzzy.. now it is bleached and dry.. grrr.
I hate to mount the rubble , because I have been moving the pieces around a bit until I am satisfied they are getting good water movement, light, etc...
I've tought about making a little egg-crate shelf and using some of the little plugs to mount them in and just stick them in the egg-crate holes.. wouldn't be as attractive, but would keep them from falling to their deaths.
The plugs are either the flower holders or the lawn sprinkler filter types.
Anyone have any ideas I can use.. a little death to snails sign?
If I mount my rubble pieces how hard would they be to detach again?
