FAQs
How do these plugs benefit my corals?
They provide a porous surface for the coral to attach to, enhancing nutrient absorption and creating an environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive.
Are these plugs suitable for all types of corals?
They are suitable for most coral frags, but always consider the specific needs of your coral species.
How do I clean the Bio-plugs?
Gently brush them with a soft brush during water changes to remove any algae buildup.
Where should I place the frag plugs in my aquarium?
Place them in an area with moderate to high water flow to ensure good water circulation and nutrient delivery.
Do I need to 'cycle' the plugs?
The plugs themselves do not need to be cycled, but introducing them can contribute to the cycling process of your aquarium. Adding bacteria supplements can help expedite the process if needed.
How long will the Bio-plugs last?
The Bio-plugs are durable and should last for a long time. They do not typically require replacement unless damaged.
What if my corals are not growing well after using these plugs?
Ensure your water parameters are optimal (calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, etc.), and that you have adequate lighting and water flow for your coral species.
Troubleshooting
Algae growth on the plugs
Increase water flow, reduce lighting, and brush the plugs gently during water changes. Ensure your water parameters are stable.
Slow coral growth
Check water parameters (calcium, alkalinity, magnesium). Ensure proper lighting and water flow for the specific coral type. Make sure the frag is receiving adequate nutrients.
Cloudy water after introduction
This is often a result of the bacteria establishing themselves. Allow the aquarium to cycle and use a water clarifier if needed. Monitor water parameters.
