Looks good!

A good read on fragging and survivability is here: (Scientifically) Smarter Frags | Coral Magazine I tent to only cut frags that are at least 1" if not nearly 2" to increase survival rates. I can't see how big the frag you cut is but I figured I'd share info.

I've read that, and while I think it has its merits I still got to say they must be doing something wrong. For me for most of my corals that get accidentally fragged with just a few polyps on a frag or so will usually make it if I dont let them fall into the rock work and put them where they will get light. But I still think bigger frags are better. Growth takes off faster and who wants a grain of sand frag anyway.

What lighting do you have?

 

[Budman's Corals]

I'm running 6 t5 and 2 vho bulb ...ati bulbs

I'd switch to mh because I did and IV seen a huge spike in growth for me at least I was told its something about radiation but it's all a preference

 

[Budman's Corals]

I was just worried bout the heat mh put off.in the water and in the room the tank is set up in.oh I know mh make stuff grow faster but if I do switch it will be to led.but there again I'm waiting till thetr clear evidence that they do grow just as good plus price will come down the longer I wait
