Hanging by a thread - literally
« on: April 21, 2010, 01:45:35 PM »
I go back to the days when the only way to attach frags was rubber banding ro epoxy.
 
Then came crazy glue, and the gazillion different plugs custom-made to fit eggcrate. Now you can even get carzy glue in purple.
 
Never did I think we'd get to:

That's pretty cool, I think I'm going to try that out with a couple pieces.

The thing I found most interesting is that it really makes you think about how much flow sps REALLY need. The corals suspended like that can make for a really eerie looking scenario.

seems like it could be a good idea to save some space in your DT for frags or when you have that one piece that seems to have difficulty finding a good home (proper flow and lighting).  must admit, it does look cool as well.......
