Hello fellow reefers,
I am in the process of setting up a frag/grow out system. (Will be doing a build thread soon)
It’s 24x24x12. (30 gal) with a 10 gal sump. Running filter sock and skimmer.
I was thinking of using something similar to calcium reactor media as substrate.
reason is: 1. More surface for beneficial bacteria
2. I plan on a lot of softies, mushrooms etc. anything that gets loose may attach to a price of the substrate allowing me to glue to frag plugs.
3. thought it may look cool?
would there be any reason you all would suggest otherwise? Is there anything I’m not thinking of that would be a better idea? Is bare bottom better? Does anyone use sand in frag tanks? Or?
Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.
HAPPY REEFING!
