CA2OR Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have been getting approached by the store I bought these from to get a frag back(scratch). They were saying that everyone who bought them lost them, as did they. Apparently I am the only one who bought them and still has them. They showed up looking like this then they melted down to one polypDOH!. Now they look like this. They are on the right. Here is another pic to give a better idea of how they are on the rock So question is how to frag these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Dremel? Serious I would just cut the rock. If they are growing that fast for you, you could put a few small pieces of rubble rock next to your mini colony and then sell the rubble rock as they colonize. WOuld be worth it if they are that in demand. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 I am not sure they are "in that much demand" but they were sold as deep water's and all the deep waters they sold out of the first batch melted. I don't have a dremel by the way, any other idea's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 +1 on putting some rubble touching the rock that they are on. They will grow onto the rubble and a quick cut with a knife will separate them. I would not risk the colony by cutting it. How much is the store that sold it to you willing to pay for a frag back? It better be a great deal! dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowpunk Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 If you want to get it off of that and not wait till it grows some more then we can have at it when I get up there next. Dremel is already in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Harbor-freight is located in Beaverton near where 217 and 26 intersect (map) http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/retail_stores.taf?f=detail&Retail_Store_ID=278 rotary tool for under $10 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94076 or go up to $24 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=40457 Be sure to get some diamond cutting disks for $4 http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=31501 Also useful are diamond point tools for $5 (I don't use them as much as the disks) http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=40547 I am thinking of getting one of these cheap-o rotary tools so I don't kill my expensive dremmel with salt water. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I just might do that D. Maybe not till next check but just the same. All of this came about rather sudden so they can wait a bit longer. I made the mistake of showing one of those dude's a pic and he saw them in the back ground.
