SPS frag question

[quakstar]

If I had frags that were placed on a nice cultureing cork would they be alright to set some SPS corals down on my sand base or is that just a bad idea help???

are u asking if its a bad idea to put them on the sand bed?

i personaly wouldnt. you coudl do it, but they get knocked over easily. also, not sure how much light or how deep your tank is, but more is almost always better.

 

[stanlalee]

depends on what they are and how much light you have. I have a montipora digitata frag (mounted to an aragonite base) on the sandbed. It likes it there but with 175w bulbs and a 19" high tank I wouldn't put any of my acro's there.

i have a 90 with 2 250 halides and yes i was wondering about mounting frags and setting them in the sand

i put all my frags on the sand, but i have a 250w on a 30g.
im sure they'll be fine on the sand bed. maybe build a frag rack using eggcrate and suction cups that will go right in your tank.

yeah. eggcrate woudl be a useable option. i have a bit on the bottom of my 40 breeder holding up my ORA duncan. with an 80X turnover rate, the sand can get kinda disturbed soemtimes, so i have it there for security and it works well.
but in a 90 gallon tank, i would start the coral in the middle of the tank and work yoru way up.
