I wasn’t going to post videos here anymore, but some Reefers told me they actually like to watch them for some reason. :face-with-tears-of-joy:
Here’s one I made on getting acropora to grow faster. Your mileage may vary of course. Happy Reefing!

Yes! Good info as always! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a single frag essentially go dormant only to have new nubs pop out of the encrusted base and then ultimately form the new colony. Interesting take with the extended plugs on the rack.

Sorry if I missed it in the video, would you employ this when mounting to rock and a display then too

I’d say anyway you can speed up that process is certainly going help!

Thanks! I think gluing them on an angle or at a ledge would help a lot. It’s like they branch out faster when theres nothing to encrust on. A viewer even suggested to glue them completely sideways to get them to encrust faster, something about more contact surface. Which crazily makes sense to me! Lol! That might be something I’ll have to experiment with!
