    I have heard that white frag racks attract more algae than black? Is this true because i am starting a frag tank and don't know if i should get a black one or a white one?? What do you guys think??

    It depends on the formulation of the plastic. It appears that there is less silicates in the black frag rack.

    Just get which one you prefer, and if it brings algae, get rid of it with a weekly water change
