Frag tank

Good afternoon everyone. I have a new frag system I have started with no substrate. Just 4 BioPlates from Brightwell.

I am now going through ugly phase. What can I do to help get past this and get clean water to add corals?

The most reliable way to expedite the ugly phase is to add bio media from a mature, reliable established system. You can also add some light cleanup crew, perhaps trochus snails or astrea.
