R-3 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I know I know. Its be over a month since I posted anything about my new toy. Finally today a month after getting it I finally got to frag something. All I gotta say is WOW! It was like cuttin butter. You can cut out single heads if you want to. The control is very precise and its does a great job cutting. You dont rip all the flesh apart which in turn make recovery time quick! My first victim was a green/purple Acan colony. I just wanted to get a feel for it so I just busted it up into a couple pieces. Here are some pics. Here she is. Ready to go! Pic of the saw. The first little frag. Pic of the main colony after the first cut. Look at how nice that cut is (rock2) The aftermath. Here they are in the tank about two hours later. Its nice not ripping the flesh up!

LOL It's goin, I finally, me an my [language filter] temper, got the friggin black box off it tonight, managed to literally rip it out LOL. I gotta get my hands on a couple of ball valves, once I do that and get them in place, I think the noise issues will be a thing of the past, and once that's done, well, I'll be transfering my corals over, since thats the only thing keepin me from puttin my corals in the tank lol.

R-3 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 You bring that to Doug's and i'd be happy to donate Sounds good Miles The ones I just cut are looking great. I looked at the frags and the minimal nick or two are pretty much healed. Its nice to be able to cut something up and not worry about ripping the coral apart. Im gonna do some more fragging tonight and will have some pics up tonight or tomorrow of the new ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its workin great. I talked to a couple online vendors that use these and they pretty much said the same thing as you Jody. They get about a year outta them with how much cutting they do. It definitely does makes fraggin a lot easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
