Topic: better than eggcrate for frag shelves Posted: September 18 2014 at 8:17am |
Anyway, I hope it's better. The front and back grills from a box fan are like eggcrate only thinner. I'm about to try it for frag shelves in the coral farm. Water will flow through/around it much freer than eggcrate.

If your box fans look anything like mine, there's NO way its going in my tank. I don't think taking it to the car wash would make mine usable in there. but good idea Mark.

Luckily, this particular fan was like new and discarded by a neighbor, so not only is it clean but it was free.

Sorry, you will have to find your own broken fan and see if silly plugs will fit in the holes. Personally, I abhor frag plugs. IMO it's ridiculous that hobbyists do natural looking aquascaping and then glue fake looking plugs to it. Here in Utah we have a virtually unlimited supply of Utah Rock rubble which I collect and give away for free. Coincidentally, coral grows faster on Utah Rock than it does on ceramic plugs.
Aloha, Mark

I'm referring to when these coral are put into a reef aquarium. The absence of ceramic plugs is beautiful.I'm guessing that you don't live on the Wasatch Front. Maybe I should explain. MarksReef is not a display. It's a small working coral farm. Here is the link to what I'm doing now, and here is the link to what I hope to try sometime in the future,
