Advanced Fragging Techniques From Expert Reefers

Video of master reef keepers sharing techniques on fragging a large purple Stylophora.

This should not be attempted by novice reefers.
Beautifully done I must say!

Oh man that was funny. Jason screaming was completely epic. It also worked WAY too well.

I should have started videoing earlier, it would have been funnier but it would have been about a 20 minute video.

That would have been nice! We were trying to go for a straight 50 50 split though... so accuracy was reasonably important. It actually ended up working way too darn well. That was also after a good 10 minutes of me hacking away at it with bone cutters... which also is surprisingly effective. That's just what happens when reefers hang out together though...

I've thought about using a hammer in my tank a couple times too...
I decided I didn't want to clean up the water on the carpet.

Haha... yeah I'd be a little paranoid that my back swing might "frag"ment my tank. It appears the width of that guys tank is a good three feet though, so he's got a little bit more room for a back swing.

LOL, you know safety was an after thought
1. Drilling on wet surface inches from fingers
2. No safety glasses to protect eyes from flying coral or rock
3. Looking away from project while still drilling
4. Smoking fumes from coral (poisonous maybe?)
wonders if it smelled like smoking shrooms 
and who got the munchies after 
and everything turned out just fine
who needs safety with the Reefer Experts to help (Matt better count your fingers again)

Lol. It was much more controlled than it appeared. The fingers weren't in too much danger. Jason assured me that it was a masonry bit... it wouldn't cut fingers!!

I thought you were very restrained for East Texans......I was expecting an Angle Grinder to come out.

Genius!
You should have been there... we simply didn't think of it.
