Frag shelf’s?

Mmcghee102485 · May 23, 2020

For give me for a newb question but just started getting into the coral. I have a couple of lps and zoa frags. Why do some people elect to use Frag shelves instead of just putting frags on rock? Thanks

I use egg crate for some until they grow a little and then glue to rock . I also drill holes in rock and put the frag plug in. U can also cut the end of the frag plug and just glue it to a rock as well. Frag shelves are movable so can move them around until the corals find them ideal lighting and then u can replicate that same light condition and flow on a rock . Hope this helps.

This is another drilled rock about 2 years old . I like the drilled rock look the best personally but it’s more work and just a personal preference . The frag racks do free up space though as you can put them anywhere with suction cups thx

Can I ask how you are drilling in tank? Or are you removing everything you drill?
