NoobtoSalt Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Karma sucks... I got home tonight and found that one of mine was starting to come off the plug. I ended up having to glue one of the babies down with it.... Oh well I deserved it for all the smack talk I was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicPoison Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Off the few hundred zoas I have fragged a little dab of glue does the trick everytime, and seems to be doing the trick here now-It does look as if a few are pissed or taking a turn for the worse, but I got frags from the same group as all ya-so for me to get "replacement" frags goes against my beliefs regarding GOC's Thats just me, others may have other thoughts but thats the way the cookie crumbles- My vote is no replacements- Toxic... any super glue (gel being best) works fine-I use the stuff from Home Depot-much less expsensive and the same results as when I bought the stuff the LFS sells for 10-15 a bottle (Sorry LFS) Good luck everyone-I aint out yet, just handicapped This is my first competition so I'm refraining from commenting on replacements since I have absolutely no background. Whatever the group, or Eric, or whomever decides is fine by me.. Regarding gluing though, I guess my problem is "pushing" the polyp onto the frag plug...it seems I would damage the polyp by trying to press it into the glue/frag plug. Or should I fill the gap with glue? Is there some sort of magic trick I'm missing? (scratch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Did you smash or damage the polyp? Is the head still able to open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicPoison Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Did you smash or damage the polyp? Is the head still able to open? I haven't done anything to mine. I think the 3 that are left are stable as-is. They are wide open. I'm more so asking for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharoleb Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I hate to say it: but I'm w/ reefn on this one. I don't want a replacement because it would seem to go against the spirit of things. If I rec'd a replacement, and ended up winning, or coming close, I wouldn't be able to have much pride in it. It sucks, and I'm disappointed, but I will get over it. Good luck to everyone!

ReeFit Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 So should I just pickup my prize now? You do realize that I squirted some bleach in Erics tank when I picked up my frag. That's why I was first. I'm tryin to figure out if I just said that out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 good thing I picked up my frags from you then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Sharoleb, I can give you a frag with only 3 if you wish so you have a tad of a handicap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Boy that's tempting. I'll tell you what - I'm supposed to get a car today. If I do, then awesome and I will take the frag. If not, I'll assume it's not meant to be. I'll let you know by tonight. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrcrain Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Mine seems fine and I havent seen any posts from Moto so Eric probably better hold the prizes till the end. As far as giving out new frags, i'm not against it. We've only had them 2 weeks, what kind of advantage do we really have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
