    if I may suggest.... spread out your corals! They will grow to be quite large and spreading them out will look better later on!

    will do what's killing me is the damn CUC they keep knocking stuff down this is the only spot where my coral has survived a week without me finding it face down on the gravel.

    what you can do is go out and get some super glue GEL and glue the frag to the rock. You could take the coral and rock out of the water (which is what i do) and glue it on or glue it on underwater (just be quick because the glue hardens almost instantly) Just make sure it is super glue gel!

    Thanks! as you can see I need at least another 30lbs of live rock to fill this bad boy up. Live rock is becoming the second most expensive investment after the LED's

    yeah but it is a good start! Nice coloration on the LR!

    i understand about being hesitant. Especially when you are in need of more LR. I would find some small/medium pieces to glue them on, just so they wont risk being pushed off the cliff haha.
