Thats what they told me at the LFS. You mean put em on a smaller piece of rock and place it seprate from the rest of the live rock?

Yeah,place them or glue them to a rock and isolate them from the main rocks.You can place rubble rock around them and let them spread to those.....VOLA!store credit.When mine overgrows(almost there),I might cut some off and glue them onto the pipes or back wall.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

He's right I have PSP and they grow like crazy they will grow over everything. I keep mine on a piece of rock away from the main rocks in the sand and when it grows on the sand I put a small piece of rock next to it and when it sticks I cut it off and trade or give it away. I have to frag it once a week to once every other week, depending on the size frag I want. One thing I have seen done with it that I might try is glueing a small frag on the back glass and it will cover your back glass I have seen two or three tanks with a GSP background. Looks pretty cool.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

Well everyone im back on the saltwater grid Things got a little crazy there for a bit, I was involved in a work accident among other reasons why I haven't had any time or money for the hobby, but im slowly gettin back into it. So heres a little update on the tank. Because i wasn't able to maintain it well other than adding water and feeding I had decided to just run my T5's and leave my MH's off. i'll be starting my MH's back up soon though but im a little worried about the temp of my tank it currently is sitting at 82.4 degrees with just the T5's but i just put a fan over my sump and we'll see if that brings it down at all. I really haven't done anything new with the tank since i last posted but i did this weekend and get a Sailfin Sturgeon fish and a little Yellow Watchman Goby i'll add pics of em tomorrow when there out, the lights are currently off. I ended up losing my shrimp and my Diamond Goby decided to jump out of the tank. Here are some before and after pics of my corals that have been doing very well.

Re: Newb's 72g Reef

do you have a heater in your tank? that could be a reason that it is getting hot.
