    Suggestion for a meeting - How to frag.  We newbees usually don't know how, what tools to use, etc.

    Wal-mart has a really good set of sharp tools in the crafts section. Scapel like knives and what not. Those are good for cutting zoas, gsp and other corals that have a mat.
    Nice pair of salon style scissors to cut kenya trees, toad stools and what not with.
    for SPS you'll want to get a pair of bone cutters which are like a heavy duty version of wire cutters.
    A dremel rotary tool works good too for sps and lps.
    don't forget gel super glue, rubber bands, tooth picks, frag plugs or useable rock to glue the frags too. Some frags like kenya trees and toadstools are almost impossible to glue, so get some veil netting to surround the frag so it will attach itself to the rock with in a couple of weeks.

    That would be fine with me too. Maybe I will have a new toy by then I can bring to frag some stuff.
