Hey everyone, I’m starting up a little frag tank and I’m looking for some inspiration for the frag racks that I’m making myself from egg crate that I got at Home Depot. Please post a picture of your innovative or basic frag racks and feel free to include whatever else you want to include. Thanks!

simple 25mm pipe and a few fittings. I had two choices which was to either cut the egg crate around the fittings so the crate sits flush or carefully angle grind all of the fittings to make them as flat as possible. I went for cutting the egg crate as I like having spaces for flow and for my wrasse to investigate for pests. Only thing I finished with was I drilled a hole in a few of the fitting to allow the air out so it sinks.
 
My frag rack is in my sump. It's just a 12"x12" piece of egg crate zip tied to a 12" long piece of 4" pvc with holes drilled in it. By no means a display system, but I refuse to have a frag rack in the display and it sells corals just fine.

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
