8 Reasons To Constantly Trim Your Corals (And 1 Reason NOT To)

[@davidhughes7180]

I for one am very happy with you regular pruning approach 😆

[@wetsleevesaquatic7058]

I don't even have a saltwater tank but I like your videos 🙏🙏 and like how excited u are talking about itb

[@kingfishers79]

loving the weekly slice of reefing goodness! and with that technique everyones a winner,cheap decent frags for us and for you,less shading,more negative space for flow, a bit of cash in your pocket to offset the cost and with the disaster recovery aspect its a no brainer for me Alex....i had two basic SPS (monti plate and seriatopora caliensis) both turned into that ultra rare variety AKA snowflake ha ha.

[@paytonmclaughlin6283]

How can I buy some from you! Do you have a website or do I just message you?

[@ReefDork]

I'm not a proper seller so I just sell a few bits on Ultimate Reef from time to time or take frags to my local shop here in Surrey. No website for now, but maybe one day I'll do a Prestige Reef!

[@lovermansmith9082]

I don't want the corals I'm not aloud to have to spread like butt cheeks for co Vid . Royalty butt checks at that . God save the queen

Herpes? Bad bacteria LoL 🤣

[@THTRT]

I would love to see how you cut the frags etc video 😎

[@chrismccombe6961]

Love the video would you do a video on how to trim /frag corals

[@kingfishers79]

+1 for that video Alex, inc the Zoas.

[@DavidMFabrication]

Another +1

[@enzomontini758]

I would say +1 but threes a crowd unless I can be camera man ( coz we all know the camera man gets sum )

[@ReefDork]

I don't frag zoas in the way you should do! It's fine for me but it would probably be irresponsible to make a video about it. Because zoas form a matt, I just grip them and try to peel off a bunch at a time. You need to put fresh activated carbon in your tank when you do it and it's not always possible - some will 'burst' when you squeeze them and some are too close to the rock to grip. But when it works, it's brilliant!

[@kingfishers79]

@@ReefDork thats an interesting way of doing it kind of like peeling away gsp 🤔....I wonder if its possible to tease the mat off the rock with something like a credit card then scalpel the chunk you want to split.

[@enzomontini758]

£100 a month just hope HMRC tax man isn’t a reefer 😂 and is a sub to ur Chanel.

[@ReefDork]

Shhhhh! 🤣

[@rachealholden3773]

Do u sell ur frags online if so where's ur selling page

[@ReefDork]

At the moment, I only sell them locally in Surrey - i'll be putting some for sale on Ultimatereef.net this weekend 🙂

[@rasmuskok]

Hey. Noticed your using an fuji tx-3 (or 4??) Can you share your settings and/or filter :)

[@ReefDork]

Yep, XT-3. Set your white balance to kelvin then I play around with it until it looks right. 8300 is usually about right. No filter, although I sometimes use an orange or yellow filter with my phone.

[@aliceholbert1246]

Upper east coast u.s. since covid hit, people giving away overgrowth including myself. High end corals pulling down regular low end prices. Stores are basically giving them away. Lfs struggling to get fish in. It's really bad. Cant tell ya how much I've given away or thrown out. It's so sad.

[@ReefDork]

☹

[@tsurro8086]

Usually the less desirable corals grow the fastest, stylo, bird nest, or plain looking acros grow like weeds, the designer corals grow much slower

[@Chloroplastspectrum]

4:49 I've never clicked like faster

[@ReefDork]

😁

[@nanocpx]

Another great video, really interesting. Where can I actually buy some of your coral frags from?

[@ReefDork]

I rarely post so only if you're local to Surrey. I'll probably be listing some for sale on Ultimatereef.net this weekend 🙂

[@shabbir78]

Nice video Alex 👍

[@inventoryking]
