Articles or Online Tutorials on Propagation

[Steven Pro]

Branching Euphyllia Propagation by Jake Pehrson (http://www.coralplanet.com/Coral_Propagation_Branching_Euphyllia.htm)

[H20ENG]

Cool links.
I first learned propagation at www.GARF.org. Lots of articles there, if you can read around the advertising.

[humptrax]

i find the most frightening part about coral propagation for first timers is the fact that you feel as if you're actually harming the coral by cutting it.

are there any video clips that might show someone propagating corals? i think it might dispell some misconceptions and irrational fears new reef keepers might have...

[maxvan1]

Garf has a couple videos.

Propagation of the Ricordia yuma by Blane Perun (http://www.farms-of-thesea.com/catalog/includes/languages/english/html/SSISSUE4_04.pdf)
Although, Ricordia should be spelled Ricordea.

Could this be made into a sticky for easy future reference?

I second the request to sticky this.

Best of luck,

Roy

How about links for small scale farming/propping? Someone above provided a link for the topic, but the link no longer works. Can anyone please provide me with some good links/resources regarding small scale farming? If not here, then PM would be great also. Thanks in advance!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I found the article on that site even though the link is dead. Just search "farming" and you should see the article about coral farming in a 2 bedroom apt.

Hope that helps.

You my friend, are a champion.

I could never use my dremel that close to my fingers.

I wear gloves, goggles and a face mask for respiration.
