What kind of mesh do y'all use?

Where do you guys buy your "bridal vail" from for fagging soft corals? I'm not having any luck with rubber bands.

Michaels or any arts and craft store, the call it "tule" sounds like tool.

I ripped up a plastic mesh bag I got from tangerines.

It's actually spelled tulle, but the pronunciation is correct.

Another idea I've heard of, but never tried is....take a 1.5" or 2" piece of PVC tubing (big enough to hold your frag disk) and cut off a short section, maybe 1" or 1.5". Cap it, turn it upside down, with the cap being the bottom, then place a frag disk inside and the mushroom or ricordia, or whatever. Then wrap a few strands of fishing line around the PVC crisscrossing over the top to hold the mushroom/ric inside until it attachs.

Hope that makes sense. [smilie=lol.gif]

You can also take a tupperware type container (some lunchmeats come in them) with a lid, put a lot of decent-sized holes in it for water to flow through, add rock rubble and the softy frag, put the lid on if there's a lot of flow, then wait for it to attach.

I've seen the bridal veils at dollar stores too

When I cut off pieces of my kenya tree and toadstool I cut about 4 in of a clear water bottle (just a cylinder/tube shape) and dug it into the sand. Put the frags in there and they attach to the little crushed coral grains that I use for substrate. Then I glued the little crushed coral pieces that the frags were attached to into a rock somewhere.
