Mid-Columbia Saltwater Aquarium Club

April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

I have tried to frag xenia before but failed to attach it to some rubble rock and it died. I used some netting and a rubberband to secure the xenia but like I said it didn't attack and it died.

I heard that you could use some kind of glue to attach it.

Please tell me some ways to attach fragged xenia.

Any super glue that is cyanoacrylate based.  Just look at the bottle it will usually say it under danger.

I have had success with toothpicks. I just poked the toothpick through the base of the xenia and into my liverock. After about a week I then remove the toothpick.

Thanks guys for the help.

I used na.lamar's advise and used glue, I now have a frag of xenia that is attached and seems to be doing well!  Grin

Now I'll have to frag some more xenia.
