Yes I agree frag plugs are rather unattractive. I'm scared to take certain things off them though, although when i got my green slimer i accidentally knocked it off the frag plug, so i glued it on a piece of rubble. But i've got to epoxy everything down so it doesnt get knocked over by the hermits. Yours look like they are wedged in very well though!
"EPOXY"????

should i move the deep water SPS on the sand bed?
i might do a little Aquascaping

pull them off? wont that damage them? isnt super glue suppose to keep them on tight?

i've seen people use a knife to remove them but i have no experience what so ever with frag removal and gluing them?

Its easy to just pop it off with ur fingers. But to be sure to not damage it u can use ur knife. Just like get up under it and lift up and itll just pop off.
And then u can just super glue it when u want it!

ROFL at slipped plug for competitor's site hahaha. What ever you do... don't throw a sixline in there if you plan on having other fish or a long lasting clean up crew... they'll prey on your CUC and they'll be VERY aggressive and territorial in such a small tank.

is it good to keep the salinity at 1.025-1.026? explain.

what do you guys think of the pics?

higher salinity is more beneficial for inverts... keeping inverts on the low end of the spectrum isn't as healthy for them... It's like you going on the mcdiet... sure you'll live and grow, but its not as beneficial as going to sub-way (I know... cliche as hell)... this gets my point across.

I would definitely recommend that you top off with saltwater until it stabilizes where you want it. I've added salt to the tank, but don't recommend it as you can nuke stuff in the tank with it directly added.
You asked how I like the new additions?
As with any 10gallon SPS.. I'll have to wait and see.. most die in the first month due to instability of water parameters.
