[icechimpee]

Thanks!

[reef kid96]

how large is that display tank?

[icechimpee]

Go to his link. Tells the whole story.

[hans24hrs]

WOW that guy has better frags than most of the stores I have been to. I would be terrified to do that, probably crack my tank lol

[Made4water]

Very healthy frags! Love the video.

[bpaw]

That's probably the best method of fragging i have seen yet!

[wildman926]

Who would of thought, that you could frag with rusty, dirty hammer, screw drivers, and nail clipprs!!

[dahenley]

Who would of thought, that you could frag with rusty, dirty hammer, screw drivers, and nail clipprs!!

thats one way to put it....
but who do you know that "NEEDS" a rusty hammer to bash corals because they are growing soo big and thick.... i can snap mine with my fingers... but i can guarantee that you cant do that with his!!

i would love to have to bash my corals because there were too healthy haha

[jawsee]

not only fragging but also a look at the cellar tanks

[Kenzy]

Awesome tanks! But damn you are ruthless with that hammer. In that last vid you must have been really close to the glass on your back swing. :hammer:

:beer:

[msr224]

Can you give us more info on what you are doing in this video? It looks like a comparison of something....same size frags all mounted in the same way.

[jleichtman]

not only fragging but also a look at the cellar tanks

What is the green coral you are fragging?

[cubera]

Awesome, Jawsee! Your corals are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to see them in real life someday!

[Jay uk]

That is some crazy fraging nice:thumbsup:

[viorel]

You have "killed" with that hammer Luc.... Congratulations for the beautiful and healty tank !

[ek9vboi]

Great job, now I gotta read the TOTM article and watch your YouTube videos. :)

[Mr_N1ce]

Impressive! :eek1::eek1::eek1:
why did you frag it after letting it grow so big? Such a beautiful coral.

[ohioreef71]

What are you putting the frags on? Is that just normal 2 part reef epoxy? You must go through a ton. Beautiful tanks I would love some of those stunning big frags.

[jawsee]

Thanks;)I love your setup!
Go Belgium. :)

I now,i hit the glas several times:lolspin:Awesome tanks! But damn you are ruthless with that hammer. In that last vid you must have been really close to the glass on your back swing. :hammer:

:beer:

It was a comparison test between AI sol led , PS hyperion and t5 lamps.
The frags where placed in the best place under these lights and measered and also i look how many they put on weight.
They where around two months under the lamps,the same frags and the same water off course.
There is another video from it at the end of the testing.

Enjoy:DGreat job, now I gotta read the TOTM article and watch your YouTube videos. :)

[jawsee]

I have no choice,one oment they become really too big,it was over 55 a 60 cm and shattered many corals,it is growing back to his size:eek1:Impressive! :eek1::eek1::eek1:
why did you frag it after letting it grow so big? Such a beautiful coral.

It's normal putty,i prefer this because you have some time too put your frags into the stones,i'l buy it in big:lolspin:What are you putting the frags on? Is that just normal 2 part reef epoxy? You must go through a ton. Beautiful tanks I would love some of those stunning big frags.

[firebirdude]

Unreal corals. Most all of us are not use to fragging corals that large inside a tank. There really is no better way to do it. Next step up would be explosives. lol

Any chance we could beg you to host up some high resolution pictures of your tank? The pictures in the Tank of the Month thread are awfully small. We can't nearly fully appreciate your tank in all its glory.

how large is that display tank?608-610 gallons by my calculations (depending on whether you use his Metric or American tank measurements).

[Dannyboy17]

you win at life, sir.

[G4546]

I hope my tank gets to the point where I can frag with an archaeology mallet.
The tank is beautiful!

Agreed! :)

Amazing videos Jawsee, just phenomenal! Please continue to video, post, frag, etc! :) :)

[lilise]

Hi Luc, can you tell us more about your conclusion on the led fixtures? I'm not sure I have understood the right thing on zeewaterforum... I really have a bad dutch speaking and reading ability. Even with google translate.

BTW, when could I come for some frags?

Thanks.

Steeve

[chrisv]

im also eager to hear about the design and conclusions of your led experiment!

[reef kid96]

what lights do you use over your display tank?

[jawsee]

Thanks,more and better pic,s of the tank you can find here

Hi Steeve,in short,the PS hyperion and the sol work fine but for nthe frag tanks the ai sol is better but still much more expensive than t5 tubes,the moment that i break even is around 4 years and that is too long,i also find the corals more colorfull beneat t5 lightning.
In around 4 weeks you can come,the tank is going down:eek1:Hi Luc, can you tell us more about your conclusion on the led fixtures? I'm not sure I have understood the right thing on zeewaterforum... I really have a bad dutch speaking and reading ability. Even with google translate.

Like i said too steeve,they work but they are too expensive too compair whi t t5 tubes,on the maintank the MH and the t5 tubes will stay for at least one year,then we will see aaing.im also eager to hear about the design and conclusions of your led experiment!



MH 4x400 watt AM 13 K and 16 x 80 watt t5,8 blue and 8 aquablue special from ATI. what lights do you use over your display tank?

[Allmost]

In around 4 weeks you can come,the tank is going down:eek1:




I REALLY hope thats just the frag tank, or the LED lighting

[lilise]

I REALLY hope thats just the frag tank, or the LED lighting
I think Luc is saying that he's fragging his main tank (at floor 0) and sending all his frags to his frag-technical room (downstairs in the ceilor) :) so going down :).

Luc, I contact you in middle of Jully to see when I can come :).

Thanks.

[Zeyko]

Wow!! Impressive!

[brad908]

Very nice!

[jawsee]

Haha,no the tank is going down;)I REALLY hope thats just the frag tank, or the LED lighting

Hi Steeve,i gonna rebuild the maintank so i am going too take everything out.I think Luc is saying that he's fragging his main tank (at floor 0) and sending all his frags to his frag-technical room (downstairs in the ceilor) :) so going down :).

Luc, I contact you in middle of Jully to see when I can come :).

Thanks.

ThanksWow!! Impressive!

ThanksVery nice!

[Allmost]

[M88A2]

[jawsee]

Thanks;i do my best but first:hammer:ahhh, I am sure it will look even nicer :)

keep us posted on how it goes.

Thanks,I now what you mean.clearly the meaning of frag for you and for us here is different! great looking tank you got there.

[Jbrodys]

That is beautiful

[Jbrodys]

Those frags would be considered colonies at my fs

[silas k]

Cool Way to frag

[Osteoicthyes]

Absolutely beautiful corals. Your calcium uptake by those must be a lot. Simply amazing.

[lilise]

That's why he uses a Dastaco Calcium Reactor... Probably the best calcium reactor for the moment...

[Mr Cob]

love those chunks you knock off those colonies!

[reef kid96]

bump for a great thread

[doosiec]

Spectacular tank, that's definitely what you would call fragging lol

[rcypert]

That is ridiculous.

[Fish fanatic]

So proud to be born in Belgium now ��

[sweet ride]

very nice! Those frags are bigger than some of the mariculture colony i've seen in the LFS.

Just to clarify your mounting dose frags in one massive epoxy and not on a piece of rock?

[MuldoonJT]

Try some tile nippers ; )

[Skynyrd Fish]

AWESOME!!!! You sir are good. Thank you for sharing. Do you supply half of Europe? Keep up the awsome work and I look forward to seeing your next video.

[ziareefer]

Man you guys in Belgium don't mess around! Thats some hardcore fragging. You must be a meat bucher by trade :)
Absolutely amazing display tank. Even your frag tanks or should i say other colony tanks, are incredible, well done!!

[L98-Z]

That tank is unbelievable. Absolutely gorgeous from the fish to the corals.

[Mussin]

Love the fragging approach, BFH!!


Jeremy

[coral hoarder]

Do you sell the frags? Amazing setup!!!!

[jawsee]

Thank you all guy's.

Sometimes i sell some frags or swap them for other pieces.

I rebuilded my tank and some corals left the building:lmao:too make room for some new ones;

My latest video from the tank

[7Reef]

My rock work would have tumbled and everything would have been fragged!!!!

[reefsahoy]

Wow! I was just searching the internet for belgian reefs to visit and came across this. Amazing! Im going to visit brussels and brugges, belgium this october got any must see aquariums i can see? It can be stores or hobbiest willing to show their tanks. i travel alot and try to connect with other reefers around the world to see their tanks and visit their home towns. i actually started a thread on this that became thread of the month and is now a permanent sticky thread in the sps forum. im coming with my wife for our vacation but i think she'll be alright if i take some time to see some awesome reefs! Thx

[CT Reefer]

Now thats a frag! Gorgeous tank.

[Chicago]

Love those wrasses. Great set up.

[Chicago]

Is that a juv clarion I see I there. ....?

[Rookieofsalt]

[Reefcubes]

This was the best and greatest reef I have ever seen! Ik hope we can welcome mister Jawsee back into the hobby soon!

Greetings
