Ghl growing on frag plug

[dmy535]

I have a new acro frag on a plug. It’s been acclimating on frag rack for a few weeks and now there’s some ghl starting to grow on the plug along the base.

Peroxide dipping guidelines (for corals)

A while back Justin Credabel published this chart detailing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide appropriate for dipping various genera of corals. I've used these guidelines myself a few times to remove algae from coral frags and it's been quite effective. Justin Credabel's hydrogen...
