Fragging Question
Ok so tonight I fragged alot of my corals. I put them in my refugium because it is the only place with low flow and I can watch them. I have a power compact down there 2 X 13 watt 50/50 is that going to be ok or is that to much light. Also how long should I keep them there?

What kind of corals? SPS, LPS? I read somewhere that with the stonies, they should be placed in at least as much light, if not more, than where the mother colony is located. Why would you want low flow for a frag of a coral that came out of a high flow area? I don't mean to come off harsh, but couldn't think of a warmer or fuzzier way to say it.

You should be good to go. Did you attach them to something? They don't necessarily have to go to the fuge. You could put them into your display immediately. Or (do what I do) wait until they attach 'naturally' to a rock or crushed coral.

dont even bother placing them in the refugium. Those specimens are all very easy/hardy and dont need much care. Msuhrooms and polyps dont really "frag", they just spread.
