You use frag tile on the bottom on your tank ?!!!easy fragging

You know I do have a build thread;)
Check it out sometime, I go into full detail!
I literally just move tiles to frag. No more cutting. That Favia will branch out onto those tiles and I’ll simply move them and replace them with tiles. Simple, fast, and smart!?!
 
Also, everyone talks about how sand sucks, which it does! But I wasn’t going bare bottom and end up damaging my glass or something. Tiles look like sand a few feet away. Total win! Plus my pods have a hiding space! Jokes on them, there aren’t any fish,hahahahahahahaha
