| I agree this is an excellent thread.
There are different methods of attaching mushrooms. They are so slimy they don't superglue very well at all.
Some people put the frags in a tupperware container filled with rubble in a low flow area for a while until the mushroom naturally attaches.
Other people stick a need right through the frag and into the rock (I've never tried this). Others use cotton thread and actually sew the mushroom to a piece of rubble and the thread decomposes (I've never tried this either).
One of my friends in my local reefing group uses pvc tubes filled with rubble and drops the frags in the tube.
I typically use the bridal veil method for propagating within my tank. If I'm trying to give someone an "instant frag" or trying to move the location, I will use a chisel, screwdriver, or putty knife to chip a little of the rock underneath the coral. In that way, it is already attached to rock. |
