Random Questions

Three things I can think of for now:

1) If I change my mind about my live rock can I swap it out for cooler pieces without screwing up the balance in my tank? Not saying I want to but just curious

2)What is fragging?

3)I want a cool clam... any suggestions?

1) you can swap it out, but I think it would be best to do a couple pieces at a time so that you sont immediatly remove all of that good bacterial filtration. Also just make sure the rock you add to the tank is FULLY cured.

2) Fragging is taking small pieces off of a larger coral/colony. For example, if you have a zoa colony with 50 polyps and you remove 10, you have created a frag.

3)Make sure you have a very stable, established system, probably with either T5HO lighting or MH's. Certain clams like squamosas and deresas can be kept under PC's, but in general, the croceas and maximas have much better coloring an these two species require high light. Make sure you READ, READ, AND READ as well. Just make sure you know what you are getting yourself into first.

HTH,
