The Frag Files: Seriatopora Birdsnest Corals - Gallery Aquatica TV

[@AquaSplendor]

Looking back this video again, this Dendritica seems vivid and thick compare to the usual "Ponape" we get in North America, the growth of mine is less colorful (same color), thinner, more compact and received around 180ppfd so perhaps it receive too much light, will do experiment in the future, quite interesting to watch this video again. I would avoid any dipping, especially oil base.

I love it when a new Ania video pops up...she always makes me smile

[@kurthunter8940]

Thanks for sharing the results for the Chalice frags experiment! Always such a pleasure to watch the Ania videos, so passionate and knowledgeable

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Kurt Hunter thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a positive comment.

[@carlosfuentes5025]

Ania is always a delight of knowledge and charisma

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Carlos Fuentes thank you so much for your kind words, they really make my day 😊 Cheers for watching! Ania

[@jonjackson5841]

Thanks for the update on the previous frag files. Very interesting to see the growth of frags

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Jon Jackson I was pretty shocked to be honest! At least we learnt something! Ania

[@Orybailey]

I love her! She is so sweet and so interesting to watch. Well knowledgeable. Keep up the awesome work

[@simmo56able]

Love your work Ania and your enthusiasm and knowledge keeps me watching. Thanks for sharing the chalice experiment. I have a rather large one that needs a trim and now I know to get a mouth in the frag

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

simmo56able hi! Cheers. I wouldn’t believe it myself without trying this. Of course in reality I believe we would need to make thousands of frags of each treatment to accumulate the right data to prove it correctly. Still, I feel it’s enough information to indicate it’s much more successful to frag with a mouth!

[@jwhall3]

You two are very valuable. Thanks for all you do.

[@GwonkReefkeeping]

Ania, you are the coral frag queen. Love your videos.

[@artofwar-3263]

Good Day Reefers !!! Better late than never I always say. Hope you guys are doing well down there. Love the honest update on the chalice frags we appreciate that, they look stunning either way.

[@rafavalenzuela9196]

Hi Ania you make my day 😊 please still doing more video..

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Rafa Valenzuela hi, that is so very kind of you. I thank you very much for the positive encouragement and support. Have A lovely day. Ania

[@sunnygoold9449]

I've always loved Seriatopora - can't keep it - my acros look good... but now my second one seems to be STNing and there's not much left. This is super helpful. I'm gonna move the bird of paradise frag back to the front corner of the tank - I don't think there was enough light there before but I have increased my lighting since then. This is super helpful - Ania is a burst of sunshine If I ever move back to Oz I am putting my name down on the list. That first bird of paradise with the green looks like JF's Enchanted Forest - Wish I could get that in Europe. I'm not surprised with the chalice results - when you did that I was like "surely they can't survive without a mouth". I'm surprised you were surprised... so much so that when you said you were shocked by the results I thought you would say the ones without the mouth had done better. Another great video

[@dallasstorm2073]

How well did these do? Always enjoy these episodes.

[@dallasstorm8860]

How are these frags doing? Very interesting!

[@Donkeydoodoo42]

Love this channel

[@FranklinDattein]

Ania, awesome video as always. I've been asking around what is the real Birds of Paradise and the is no consensus :) To make it even more confusing, there is a third one, that has the shape of a hystrics and the colours of a Dentritica. I bought as a Dentritica, but have seen people selling it as Birds of Paradise. Have you seen this one?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Franklin Dattein hmmm. Is it kind of like a “Ponape”?

[@christopherflores6137]

Enjoyed the vid - thanks Ania! Very informative!

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Christopher Flores thank you so much for watching! That is very kind and lovely to read. Have a nice day! Ania

[@gabesreef]

What a special piece.

[@rc2300s2r]

Love all your uploads. What’s your opinion on using quick set spray for the glue? I love the stuff and it makes things so much easier for me.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Ryan’s Reef 👋 G’day! Thanks for the great question. I have never used that quick set spray, I wonder what it’s chemical composition is! Do your LFS sell it? Because we definitely don’t have that available here. But there are similar products to set nail polish and paint faster so it’s definitely something I have thought about before.

[@rc2300s2r]

Gallery Aquatica TV my LFS does sell it and I also get it online from BRS( Bulk Reef Supply) her in the states. The one I use is from BSI. Once you use it you’ll never go back. 😁 www.bulkreefsupply.com/insta-set-super-glue-accelerator-bob-smith-industries.html

[@MereReef]

Ania you little minx ❤️❤️ why are my birds nest going white at the tips with the polyps... acros are happy though

[@TattooedDancer91]

Oh how very neat! I need to get off my prejudice that seriatapora are for newbies and get a small colelction going. :D nice video!

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Thank you. There are some truly spectacular colour forms out there.

[@TattooedDancer91]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV I bet, and it's always nice to have some colorful fast growers for trade ins :D

[@donsmith7979]

Thank you😁

[@dallasstorm2073]

Did these do well? I'm really curious

[@spoonz1065]

She knows her shizzzzzzzzzz that's for sure . Great work

[@jahsreef8386]

When you said something at the beginning my guess was that Jake would know what it was. His knowledge of corals blows me away every time he talks about them

[@stravelakis]

How did it go? was it better for the tips or the thicker parts?

[@ringnes1980]

Can you please make a frag files on zoas? 😃

[@liodiy]

What glue are you using?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Ecotech Cg

[@fugitivetattoo]

I get too paranoid working with frags out of water. I'm constantly misting with sea water in a spray bottle, but I guess its not nessesary.

[@HCBCHEMISTRY]

I want a frag of the deep water birds.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

HCBCHEMISTRYoCOM it does pop up from time to time. Another worthwhile Seriatopora is the “Ponape”

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

Would miliput be ok

[@marcelrodriguez2067]

Birdsnest will die much easier then my millis and tenuis corals lol such a sensitive coral for me.
