It seems like a lot of tanks these days are little more than frag plug collections. In my on-going quest to photograph corals in hobbyist aquariums, it's often difficult to find mature or mostly mature reefs. In the past couple of weeks, I've had two experienced reef aquarists comment that they got much more pleasure out of their frag tanks than they did out of their displays. It's interesting to hear this when I'm working to develop two display tanks that are full of mature colonies. To me, it's a sign of success to be able to keep a reef going and stable long enough to grow mature large colonies and cover most of the rock.
What is your goal? Are you working toward a mature reef display? Do you just enjoy fragging and selling? Are you just trying to get to the point where you can be confident new acquisitions will live and haven't thought about a long-term goal? Are you trying to develop some kind of specialized biotope? Tell us where you're headed with your aquariums.
