Well... I made a bunch of my rocks the Aragocrete way and made some Aragoracks by adding holes to the shelves.
At one point is was making Eggragoracks with egg crate, Aragocrete, and then adding holes to them.

My plan is to QT the corals first and make sure water parameters are stable to prevent it. To treat it, I'll cut it.
I am going to try to not put frag racks in my main display. I'll be putting them in a small frag tank that I plan to set up.
