Fragging The Giant Lobo After Seven Years Of Growth | 300 Gallon Reef Tank

[@FishOfHex]

I only have a few frags up for sale but want them going to good homes. If your tank is not stable or very small please pass on purchasing. fishofhex.com/collections/300-gallon-frags

When you said you were cutting up the Lobo I was expecting to see the usual Gryphon Aquasaw XL in the next scene... however when I saw the next shot was of a reciprocating saw I decided to immediately cease all other distractions & get out the popcorn!!! You done a good job to be fair bro ;)

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

That thing is a BEAST!

[@newbflyer101]

great skills sir . keep up the good work.

If you ever have to do something like that again try gigli wire. Used in orthopedics and can be a little more precise than a large blade. Also stainless steel and no paint issues. cool to see.

Nice job bro bee safe 🙏🍻

[@ten4tango]

I think you picked the right tool for the coral!

Hey Travis big fan from New Jersey I have a question about a hammer coral on a branching hammer coral I’ve had it for probably about 6 to 7 months now and for up to the last two weeks every day would be big puffy swollen sweeper tentacles and the last two weeks or so it’s been shrunken in the most it comes out as it’s a little Hammers pop out a little bit he grew three heads 2 of the heads the hammers come out just a hair the third head it’s always closed up I’ve already dipped in revive tried that then dipped it in bright well Medi coral tried that still no no luck checked all my 😮parameters Alkalinity 9.6 pH 9.3 nitrate 18 I know a little high phosphate .03 salinity 1.025 temperature between 78 and 78.6 and I just can’t 😅figure out what could possibly be causing this i use zero TDS reverse osmosis water I don’t know maybe it’s the salt I use ocean crystals or reef crystals by ocean nutrition maybe I have to go back to the red sea coral Pro and I’m not sure if you have any suggestions that would be greatly appreciated I’m still sort of new to the salt water Hobby I’ve only been in it for maybe going on a year and a half now I’m just starting to get my feet wet with the SPS Corals while my main tank right now is a 90 gallon with a 40 gallon sump I just set up my 125 gallon 6 foot long tank with my trigger system sump and 20 gallon long offsite plumbed refugium so pretty excited should be cycled in the next two or three weeks excited for that but this hammer for all I really like and I don’t want to lose it again all my other Corals seem to be fine even my OCTO spawn just weird because cuz if it was the water I’d think at least the octospawn would be showing signs to since they are from the same family.m still really new marine tanks but any ideas on how to remedy this would be great thank you

Very interesting Travis. Just wish I could get a piece, but am in U.K.

[@sleepinggiant807]

Wish it was available in Canada

Big boy

[@FishOfHex]

Definitely

[@RogueAquariums]

Nice job in cutting up the lobo Travis. Given the size that was probably your best bet in using the reciprocating saw.

[@forloop7713]

So is that thing like alive?

[@FishOfHex]

Yea i didn't hurt it

[@gabesreef]

I cant believe you are cutting this but I want some

[@FishOfHex]

Not much of a choice it was too big even for the 300 gallon.

[@gabesreef]

@@FishOfHex I get it. I'm sure this wasn't an easy decision.

[@shanabell1993]

[@y_gagaring]

[@min2oly]
