Thank you that explains it well. I guess the only real difference between trimming and fragging is that your corals actually have a sell on value. Plant trimmings are very cheap to buy. Remember plants are living too. Most need just as much work as your corals. We try to add the things you remove from your tanks. Nitrate, phosphorus, iron, potassium, magnesium amongst others. Oh and of course lighting and co2 are very important too

Potassium and iron aren't so important in reef tanks. We have strontium, iodide things like that. Id love to keep this convo going, but we have today focused on the OP's tank.

Frogspawn coral are fairly easy to keep. They don't need much. They are an LPS coral. They tend to play nicer then the other euphylias.

[10gal_nano]

Ok. Cool. Is $20 a good price
