Lots Of Diffrent Frags!

[garybuk]

I buy Lots of diffrent types of frags... small picies? im not 100% sure what frag means but anyway


Wares the best place to put the frags for them to grow/speed? or does it depand on what type they are! just my tank has got lots of lil frags hear there and everyware wating for them to grow! i no they will take months even years but just makeing sure im doing right with them! also is it best to glow them frag to a bigger bit of rock? or just place it on a rock?

Location of where to place frags is of course different for every coral. Some like high light, some low... Some like low flow, some high. Fastest growth will be achieved by putting the coral in a condition it likes the most. And if it's a hard coral, one must keep calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium at NSW concentrations or higher AND have 0.00 phosphates in the water column for them to grow. Some corals will also grow faster if fed, but don't assume that's the case with all species.

It's best to secure if the coral is in a high flow area as you don't want it to blow away. It's prob best to secure all corals incase a fish or invert bumps or climbs near them as to not dislodge them and have them end up on the tank bottom. I believe there is reef glue that is made specifically for attaching frags to you lr
