    Got myself an easier method to light acclimatise
    no need to handle the corals between stages, they can start low on this and I can raise it every couple of days, until coral reaches height I want to locate it

    the usual drab suspects, but hopefully, they will colour up as well as previous additions have thus far

    Hi Steve.

    What coral is in image #4?

    That frag rack is great idea, so much better to move it up with out having to actually touch the frags. Opens up many options with regard to the lighting needs as the frags acclimate to the lighting and system.

    Pretty good PE for newer acropora frags. Image #3 Millepora?

    Very nice additions.

    :)

    Very nice indeed. Can't wait to see what colors come out. That's a sweet idea too. I hate sticking my arm in the water!

    Thank you schackmel

    Not sure on the IDs - Corailline aside from the Monti, the Milli and last there is a Diggi - but the other 3 not sure about yet

    I purchased it, and purchased 20 of the plastic plug in frag plugs

    Thanks Yamaharider

    Thanks Eric
    They are nice and healthy , and all had PE in store, hence I chose them

    Thanks Nismo 400rgtr

    Yes - I can increase the height on the rack by a couple of inches per day just by moving the magnets outside carefully

    Thank you John

    yes it seems well made with the magnets inside clear plastic boxes
    and foam protectors between outside magnets and tank walls
