Looks good Reefman19, how longs it been set up?

Tell us more about your leather fraging - like the process you used, experiences etc...

------------------
"Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals. Except the weasel." - Homer Simpson

Thanks for all your kind words,
The tank is a 72"x18"x18" (100g) All Glass.
It has been set up now for almost 3 years (3 year anniversary is September 30, 2000).

As for the Leather fragging off, the events were truly unexpected, and if I executed some process to invoke this, I don't know what it was! So far it has produced 6 frags.
The edges of the "mother" coral curl up and sometimes a curl will turn in on itself and "pinch" itself off. Actually when I see this happening I will allow it to almost pinch off and I will carefully break it off so I can place it and currents won't wash it away. They attach really fast, usually within 24hours. I temporarily placed one that was loosely swirling around on the sandbed onto a rock to be placed later. When I went back the next day, it had attached where I placed it and it remains there to this day.

The pagoda is one that really "bleached" out badly when I brought it home from my LFS and has regained about half its brown color back. It opens up and looks great so I don't worry much about the bleaching episode any more.

If I can answer any further questions let me know, I'll do my best! :-)
