Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Right, so i was going to cut off as much frag as possible. I bought new plugs, glue, cutters etc. But if my plugs have coraline and I cut it off I won't get any introduced into my tank
Sometimes you can only do the best you can do.
Coralline isn't all what it's cracked up to be.
Sometimes, it's a disaster.

I was under the impression that good coraline growth would inhibit or deter the growth of GHA on that section of rock. Which is why I want some

You can buy "bottles coralline"...
 
That's what we're all here for!
Except me. I draw the line at 999 in 2 days. Today's a new day though so we're starting fresh.

It can, but not always.

I'll start keeping track so I don't waste any daily questions

It's pretty, the sign of a mostly healthy tank but GHA will grow wherever it wants, coraline won't prevent it.
My 75 was infested with coraline.
There was so much I was removing it weekly just to see the fish through the glass.
I liked it on the back.
That was cool.
But other stuff still grew right on top of it.

I think live ocean rock would be better. But pest wise? Sure you could get stuff. I just feed the mantis now. I think it’s so fat it can’t get out of the rock.
