    You are correct Chris. The only change that may happen is that we might be buying the frag and giving it away instead of selling it. I am still trying to work on getting something and it depends on the price that i can get it at. We still have over a month and i am trying to get things worked out so we will be set in stone by the 2nd week in feb. I am sorry if i have confused anyone. Please let me know if i need to clarify more.

    Yes i would like some more clarification. .... we have 17 people who voted... so let's say some of them bring someone. .. so let's say a total of 20 people is there going to be enough room for everyone? I personally don't think there is going to be. ... are we going to do the fragging in groups of 5? While the rest shop for frags.... i think the quality of the fragging demo will not be very good because of the size of the venue that was chosen because of the amount of people

    I guess this all depends on what is getting fraged . If just Zoas then I'm not interested . Already have about 15 frag plugs full of radioactive dragon eyes. Which I am willing to sell or trade . Was hoping to learn something new . I also have a Christmas favia, that is the size of my hand . Been wanting to frag and sell some of but not sure best way to .

    No it will not be just zoas. If you have something you want to see how to frag please bring it so we can show people. Last time zoas was very small part of the fragging demo. It all depends on what the people there are wanting to see fragged.

    It is up to the person who is fragging them. There will be frags for sale there. I know the Acans that salty has he will sell frags and eric has all his stuff that is for sale. Yes there is a fragging saw that Eric has.

    What I've often wondered when fragging is how is a chalice fragged so that eyes are included? Also, LPS like Frogspawn and Duncans...when the heads are so tightly bunched together that there appears to be no stalk/trunk...how do you frag those? It seems to me that one would just be gluing heads to the plugs? Case in point, I have a very large Duncan that is so tightly packed with heads that if I would try to frag it, I could get heads easily but nothing to support the heads...unless I would cut heads off them to create a stalk/trunk. I would be throwing heads away to just get enough of a stalk to support the heads?!! I can't (nor would I want to) justify doing that. So if we has a Chalice, Duncan or Frogspawn, maybe someone could demonstrate how to do one/those?
