I think most people use egg crate or something like it. Slime? if its a smile your phosphates may be high and have nothing to do with the egg crate. Is it a red slime? any pics of your frag tank?

Slime shouldn't be growing like that, especially in a tank thats meant to have pristine water.

don't like egg crate, gets very dirty after a while and hard to clean. i used sand instead

alfani, where did you get those metal ...things from? That's pretty neat.

 

[alfani]

i had a friend who does the metal work, he made it for me. it was meant for my main tank but it's too high, i have an 6 inch high one in my main tank.

get a shallow but wide frag tank and use sand like alfani did.

cleaning a shallow sand bed is much easier than egg crate

you can see your frags better too.

is there worry of 'sand burn' for the corals if they start growing too far down the plug?
I ask because I have a micro that is on a plug and its decided to grow DOWN the plug which is annoying. It's still too small and weird to take out of my in display egg crate and glue to a rock.

I was thinking I'd break the base of the plug (the long pointy part) and then glue that to a rock...but was worried sand would be a bad idea.

What is sand burn. I have some frags on my sandbed in my DT. Is that bad. The three are 2 different gsp's and a frag of ricordea. Thanks.

IS your rock very small and very close to the sand? If not, I would not worry.
