Lots of us hate the look of frag racks but hate the hair algae that sometimes grows on it, even more. Some say they also leach phosphates. And almost just as bad, when overgrown frags spread onto the plastic egg crate or acrylic rack, it's a pia to get those corals off. And the latest negative are those reports of cheap rusting magnets crashing tanks.
So I figured a way to ditch the crate/acrylic frag rack and instead use something where beneficial bacteria can thrive due to the tons of surface area and how porous the blocks are. And when corals spread, its super easy to just cut the surrounding area and boom, instant base for corals to be transferred to plugs or just let them continue to spread on the foundation.
So here's what I came up with. Pics on next post.
