From: "Christian Saint-Onge" To: leroy@garf.org Subject: Propogation technique Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 15:04:57 -0800 I am going to take "If you are farming corals on any scale" very literally. I currently have about an 18 gallon that I have been propogating mushrooms and gorgonians. I also plan on propogating most of the items that I traded with GARF for. Which leads me to a method that has worked 100% of the time for me (to date). When propogating mushrooms, I follow the same exact procedure as on your web site. I just cut the head of the mushroom off leaving some stalk behind. In a couple of days, the stalk closes over itself to heal the wound. At this point, I make one cut completely through the middle of the stalk. Both sides will heal over leaving two stalks which will, in turn, each grow another head. I have not tried dividing the stalks into more sections (haven't been that brave), but that may work as well. Hope this information works for you. Christian

We are having a special on all of the coral cuttings. WHEN YOU PURCHASE 5 AT THE REGULAR PRICE OF $100 WE WILL GIVE YOU TWO FREE CORALS!. We will continue to provide the most current data on reef farming for both education and profit.

Sometimes I forget how fun it can be to watch the Reef Janitors^tm as they go about their duties. It is important to have the mixture of crabs and snails custom picked for your reef aquarium. Both Leonel and Brian are experts in algae control. You can be sure that they will choose the right mixture from GARF's extensive collection of algae eaters.

The GARF staff knows that each aquarium is different and they will ask about the size, lighting, and age of your reef. Summer is the most important time to add extra janitors^tm because there is more light and the reef will be a bit warmer. When you order any Reef Janitor pac^tm you can pick a free coral or two pounds of GARF's FAMOUS GRUNGE LIVE SAND ACTIVATOR Reef Janitors ^tm or call toll free 800-600-6163.
