Thanks for the video Jake! I got to meet you a few weeks ago at a LFS. You helped me pick a hammer out. It’s doing fantastic! Hey I’m in Wheat Ridge I’ll come fix your Sink faucet so you can get rid of the vice grips!! Lol. Love the videos!!
Thank you for the great video. I am just getting into Acropora so it will most likely be a while before I am ready to frag what I have. One thing I have started doing for gluing frags to plugs or rocks is a 10 mL syringe. For me, a syringe gives me a little more control of how much and where I apply CA. I found the syringes on Amazon. I put the tip of the syringe inside the bottle of CA, suck out roughly 10 mL of CA and get to work. As long as I do not suck any water into the syringe the CA left in the tip does not harden and I can use the syringe over a period of days to weeks.
One day, I want one of those. Not this time, I'm sure demand is quite heavy and Colorado is a tad far. But one day, I hope that strain gets propagated to where it becomes available. I seem to be developing a soft spot for blue Acro's, and that thing is stunning. Wow your coral flat is beautiful, as always Sir. total jaw-dropper.
Pro tip: instead of putting your finger behind the blade and hoping you don't slice into it, use a regular old #2 pencil, flip it over, and use the eraser end to steady the thing you're cutting.
Yes…as a surgeon I cringed at how close his fingers were coming to the saw blade. We don’t want you getting hurt Jake. I’ve seen to many bands saw accidents
@@juliancastineira4597 do what you want, but most people who show up with a severed finger it was their first time having a problem after years of use.
I love those ceramic frag plug rocks, I use them almost exclusively for my little zoa farm. They frag plug leg idea is great I need to implement something similar to mine. About every 3 weeks I need to lift them up and use the maxi jet to suck up all the detritus that builds up and is trapped underneath them.
Old fart here just getting back into this after a decade out, do you med dip the frags or colony after fragging? It is something that used to be a given but so much has changed since I left I have been stuck on youtube for 3 weeks just catching up. Also the little tips frag at the end.... those types have always been my favorite! I cannot tell you how many times I have saved a frag simply by popping a tip off and passing it to a friend (and the other way around).
Question: as a noobie and someone who wants to add acro's to my tank at some point in the future (sooner than later I hope), do you already have a video on how to know when your tank is ready and how / where to add them and how to care for them once they are in the tank etc? Thanks for the great content, cool to see how fragging works.
Hello sir Thanks for sharing fantastic video again... I love all your videos.. I wish one day's I stop by see you learning how keep the Acropors so colorful....👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍹🍹🍹🍹🍸🍸🍸🍾🍾🍾🍾
Hey guys, I have a question about UV light. When it comes to your reef aquarium when is the best Times to start and end UV during a day light cycle? They “say” between 10am-4 pm is the most in the day. Should that be the basis when it comes to ur reef tank?
Just got some new nicer frags. One is supposed to turn orange and is a milli. The other is a thinner branch acro that should have yellow polyps. I have all my acros about 6 inches under the water with a hydra 52 turned way up. Should that light be enough to color acros up?
Yeah but everyone will tell you to probably start your light at lower intensity and photoperiod before you go and blast them - try using the light acclimation setting in myAI to slowly ramp up the brightness over a month or so
I look at a t5 fixture and some people run 1-2 up bulbs the entire light cycle I just wasn’t sure if that helps or if a more natural light cycle attempt is more beneficial? If you have covered a topic like this just point me in the right direction , I may have watched it or mayb have missed!! Thanks you❤️✌️
No completely My main question is how long should you run the UV color spectrum on a led ? I have AI prime 16hd it was just on my mind does uv help all day full ? Or Ramp up ramp down? With the mid day peaking
Like I said in my last comment I would love to purchase a few frags from you this coral in particular is the one I want most along with a few others lmk if we can work something out Jake ty you for sharing love the video👍
I still cant believe people pay for poxy little 1 inch frags. I wanted to plant an oak tree and the garden centre gave me an acorn to plant. All kinda ridiculous really ain't it :)
Why do you not breath out of your nose when you talk. I’m not trying to hate frfr but the breaths at the end of every sentence keeps making me twitch lol

This is super helpful to see in action, thanks for all these nice hands on videos!
True masterclass in coral fragging. Video production is top notch, thank you!
Love to see more of that A.humilis for sure Jake ! Top video once again and marvelous colony 👏
Make A.humilis Great Again
Studio has come along way.

thanks for the tip, we'll have to keep that in mind for specific applications of CA
Loved the video, thank you Jake!
Super video Jake. So informative - as always.
Loving the irwin tap handle😂😂😂, keep up the great content 👍🏾
Those look amazing. I wish I had a frag for my new build. That coral is crazy blue.
Dude! You make it look so easy! 👍
How long can they be out of the water while chopping and cutting?
One day, I want one of those. Not this time, I'm sure demand is quite heavy and Colorado is a tad far.
But one day, I hope that strain gets propagated to where it becomes available. I seem to be developing a soft spot for blue Acro's, and that thing is stunning.
Wow your coral flat is beautiful, as always Sir. total jaw-dropper.
What an amazing acro! Do you happen to sell?
What's up Mr.Adams, I just got caught up on the videos. Splendid work as always from the Reef Builders team.

If u think he’s crazy, at work i’ve fragged for 5-6 hours Gloveless. Have only cut myself once
@@juliancastineira4597 do what you want, but most people who show up with a severed finger it was their first time having a problem after years of use.
@@kiswanson Hard to cut off a finger with this saw
Every time you put your finger so close to the bandsaw I held my breath 😅
The way it designed is amazing and the coral reef
Great video as always Jake

Thanks for the great video. I tried to do reef keeping. Learned a lot. Enjoyed it much of the time. Just couldn’t keep it up. Tank shut down kindly.
This is so satisfying, thanks for the video!
Great video, Please tell me where did you get those 2 posters you have in the wall. Specially the one with the beginners fish guide 🙏👍😅
That’s a beautiful coral! I prefer the purple frag plugs and frag plug holder
Thanks for sharing thos awesome video, how can i buy one of those frags from you?
I'm going to think up a creative solution where the frags will be available but I don't have to ship them out one by one
Wow that coral is stunning. Ill buy a piece from u!!
Hey Jake , what about for milka sps ? Have you fraged them ??
oh yes too many times, I just use a small jewelry hammer to knock branches off

Great video! My dream coral! How does one get one of those frags? I checked your website and didn't see any corals for sale.
Can I buy some from you guys? I’m in Colorado so I can definitely pick it up.
beautiful always enjoy your videos!
update on the frags in a couple of months please
I’ve got an actopora colony that i can’t find the name for is there any way I can send you a picture and see if you know what it is?
Do you ever include a dip as part of the fragging process? Like a CoralRx, Restor, etc.. If you do, when/why would you want to dip during fragging?
Not if I'm dipping a healthy coral
Are any frags up for sale
Question: as a noobie and someone who wants to add acro's to my tank at some point in the future (sooner than later I hope), do you already have a video on how to know when your tank is ready and how / where to add them and how to care for them once they are in the tank etc?

No not yet, but that’s a good suggestion
@@ReefBuildersVideo I would watch that video so hard!
Yessir!! Love these fragging videos!!

I run UV as long as the blues, so basically the entire photoperiod

awesome video Jake how would one get a frag of that piece 👍👍
How can I buy a coral
Hey Jake, where can someone go to find one of your immortal tort frags?
ask your LFS to order some from ACI reefbuilders.com/2021/01/15/are-reefers-ready-for-the-immortal-tort/
I really like those Frag rocks !
Do you have any immortal torts for sale?
Ayyo 4:30 what do you mean by that?
I look at a t5 fixture and some people run 1-2 up bulbs the entire light cycle I just wasn’t sure if that helps or if a more natural light cycle attempt is more beneficial? If you have covered a topic like this just point me in the right direction , I may have watched it or mayb have missed!! Thanks you❤️✌️
That's up to you whether to use T5, I appreciate other tanks that do but I'm not a fan of replacing bulbs anymore
No completely My main question is how long should you run the UV color spectrum on a led ? I have AI prime 16hd it was just on my mind
does uv help all day full ? Or
Ramp up ramp down? With the mid day peaking
@@emeraldcoastreefer4674 answered below
Just for science, next time can you glue the nubs you cut off with the band saw to a plug or plugs and see if you can restart something?
What to do when an acro stops extending its polyps?
the first thing I'd check is for pests and parasites
What do you take In trade ?
Miss this guy. The new stuff is not the same.
And it never will be. Jake will never be replaced or replicated. ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo lets get a video touring the studio if possible. Thanks
Do you sell those frags to the public?
Mind if I drop by to pick one of those up?
Beautiful coral! 😍
I can’t wait til my reefing gets far enough along where I can start fragging my own corals
That's a beautiful colony. I would love to have one of those.🤤
Like I said in my last comment I would love to purchase a few frags from you this coral in particular is the one I want most along with a few others lmk if we can work something out Jake ty you for sharing love the video👍
4:30 Quote: I’ll take it a little bit more rough but less deep😮💨
Very nice!
I must have - so blue that it hurts my eyes. ❤
I don’t believe it looks that good send me a piece and prove me wrong!😂
Can't be killed? Sign me up! where can I get my hands on one.
I could use a frag of that! I can actually see blue
Man I would so love A Jake Adams grown Coral I don’t care what it is
Damn, the screw driver! Jake is going OG…..
I still cant believe people pay for poxy little 1 inch frags. I wanted to plant an oak tree and the garden centre gave me an acorn to plant. All kinda ridiculous really ain't it :)
I managed to bleach my acro frag. And the birds nest.
How’s a guy go about getting a slice of that?😂😂😂
You know you’re a big shot RUclipsr when they put 2 15 second adds that you can’t skip before you watch the video 😆
if you have too much frag and no space to put them you can send me some 😜 btw great video waiting for the acrylic tank update
VIP Mr Jake contributor Adams . Thanks for all
Nice ❤
Why do you not breath out of your nose when you talk. I’m not trying to hate frfr but the breaths at the end of every sentence keeps making me twitch lol
Frags ? That’s the biggest scam in the aquarium world. SCAM
How you figure?
@@ReefBuildersVideo selling slivers of coral for max price is ripping off the public. That’s how
Blue corals are the bomb.
