29g Saltwater Nano Tank

That's going to look amazing when it fills in. I assume corals grow bigger and fill in like plants do?

Yes! They do eventually fill in. It takes a long while for LPS and SPS to fill in. Softies take a little while, but not near as long.

The Duncan is not happy for some reason:

Cool. Also, I already alluded to this with "fragging," but I am finding the terminology of reef tanks rather entertaining.

It really is!

Thinking of getting this rack for the new frags:

Might get the smaller version, but I’ll probably end up with this one.

I’d like to eventually re-frag the mushrooms on flat plugs, but that might take a while.

"Frag rack" sounds like the name of an orc in Middle Earth.

Diamond goby is chillin!

Duncan opened back up (sort of). I think the dottyback might be messed with it.

Gold & pink palys. I need to find another location for it:

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Maybe I should move the gold and pink palys up near my big colony? The big colony really seems to like it up there, so maybe it will encourage growth.

More pics coming once I clean the glass.

Lol. A frag rack is just a flat holding device that can hold frags and keep them off the sand bed. Corals usually grow better when they are nice and flat.

Nice score on the favia. Those are some of my favorite types of corals. Keep them fed and lots of good light and they will turn into an impressive colony. Keep an eye out for sweepers. I had a colony of Raptor’s Peace favia that was totally chill for the longest time and then decided to turn into an aggressive turd. Not really an issue with small frags that are still on their plugs and can be moved around but just keep it in mind when you’re planning its placement on the rock and its neighbors.

Thanks! Will do.

What did you feed your favias and how?

If corals up near the surface are doing better than corals at the bottom, then you need more light.

As in more blues? Or another black box light?
