    Ok i ordered the eshoppes frag rack without looking at the demensions, its a bit too bit to fit on the side of my tank. Should I:

    A-cut 3/4" off each side with my dremel

    or

    B- Cut it in two?

    Cut it in 2 and you can light acclimate different corals easier.

    How does it hang on the side of the tank? magnets? suction cups?
    If you cut it in half will it still be able to support itself?

    My only concern with cutting it in two is stability. As long as it can hold itself up with frags on it, then I would cut it in half, you can keep sps higher up and other frags lower.
