Description from the creator

We get asked a lot about the proper way to cut and glue acropora frags. In this video, I go through my entire process of cutting and glueing branching SPS frags. Everything from the amount and type of glue, to labeling plugs, to selecting the specific branch we will be cutting. There are many ways to accomplish this task, and many of them work great, this is the method Chaos Aquaculture uses and we feel it provides the cleanest results.
