What's your secret to help along your frags?I have a small one myself.
Not sure if is a "Secret" is just experience and experiments, years ago i start from 3/4" Walt Disney from N.J. swap , was only one person who sale it, i do NOT want to pay $ 600 for that frag, i ask for less $ , NO way, then i put $ 200 down to hold the frag, the guy tell me , if he got $ 600 for that frag i lost my $ 200 , i take the risk. After few months i got one more from J.F. less $. I place the 2 Frags in dif. water flow, dif. light.
I realize , both grow well, then i realize by having super high water flow, one of those , grow more one side then up , encrusted a way more, NOT like bamboo stick, that give me the opportunity to grow W.D. like Crown Shape, means , if i have to frag , i will have 10-15 nubs from one Colony. W.D. is SUPER strong Tenius Acropora , i never , ever bleach one frag, YES is true i run 3X 400 W Metal H. in my opinion LEDs is NOT even close, So i can frag so much, I believe in Low Alk. 7-75 dKH , most for immunity of the tank, Bacteria love this #, also love Tropic Marine Pro Salt, 10-20 weekly water change , Mag. 1,250 no more 1,300. NO3 3-5 ppm ( Steady) PO4 0.02 - 0.06, Salinity close to 1.025 , Temp. 77-79 F, NO sand , i run B.B. Good RO/DI, So nothing
special, i make my own Food.
