Frag tanks

[Saltwatertaylor]

I was wondering if I could see some frag tank setups. Please explain everything about it! Thank you!

30 gallon 24x24x12. 120w Evolution led, MP10, sump with fuge, Sea Storm skimmer, par38 led for chaeto, live rock, eggcrate, Quiet One return pump. The whole thing was given to my by a friend for babysitting his frags while he moves.

Can you explain the egg crate? Why its used, and maybe include a picture of it

The egg crate is normally used to place coral fragments that are attached to frag plugs in.

Oh okay! Do you sell your frags?

Rarely. I'm holding several frags for my friend who's moving so that's the main use for the tank right now. I usually glue down pieces of sps that I break off while working in the tank. Once they heal up I usually try to trade them or sell them cheap to local club members. The led light was supposed to replace the MH on my 20 gal. but I'm holding off on that for now until my friend gets a tank set up and I can get his frags back to him.

I just stack 2 pieces of eggcrate and it holds a plug perfectly.
