Hi folks,

Looking at finding out how you all encourage you frags to grow? Maybe you use a mgic soup mix that does the trick?

Suggestions and idea greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have been using phycopure & a brine shrimp mix for about 6 months now and the groth and color of my zoo's, Lps, & Ricordea has been great.Check out the site PhycoPure.com it tells you what different micoalgae is in this stuff.

The best way to promote frag growth is by providing as optimum conditions as you can. This includes water quality, adequate water movement, and intense lighting. Poor water quality, for example high nitrates or phosphates, low water flow, and dim lighting will all slow down growth.

If you are looking for individual products or additives that might increase frag growth, then checkout Energy Elements from AquaConnect. I have recently been using this 3-part formula and I personally have seen an increase in growth rates so far. I'm sure that everyone has their own methods of what works for them.
