I have tried that a few years ago on buddys setup it works good as long as you remember to suspend the coral by a section that you plan on fragging off and to not put any true swimer fish in. always knocked the frags down. i would like to see a full tank shot if i can of your system.....

I am attempting the suspension propagation on my main tank which is 75 gallons. Flow consists of a tunze stream, maxijet powerhead, and a rio 2500 for the return (yes I know rio sucks and plan on upgrading pumps in the future). Lighting consists of 2x175 10K XM, 2x110 actinic vho, and 1 t5 actinic nova. I am just doing this for testing purposes to see if the growth rates can be increased. The fish in the system include a bicolor blenny, purple tang, flame angel, dusky jawfish, and a Diana's hogfish. None of the fish seem to even notice the frag in suspension.
I plan on trying this with various acros, a purple digitata, and a birdsnest frag. I suspect that the birdsnest frag will benefit the most from this method. I will try to get a full tank shot later today when the lights come on.
