Is this true?? And why would this be?

No, I'm just blowing fluff.

It seems to be the consensus when discussing with friends. Why? Who knows. Maybe it's the leeching from uncured cement plugs? I don't know. I know my fastest growing frags are the ones I mount directly onto the live rock.

I'm going to be doing a side by side experiment. I'm interested in the results.

Yeah, I can see it, if the plugs aren't cured... I do know that some SPS are more sensitive to glue, and can be mad for a while. So have to be careful of that.

And sorry for the thread creep. But I also do wonder why people prefer flat tiles vs plugs? I would be concerned they would fly off my eggcrate with the current. I can see maybe an advantage if you mount them on the bottom of your tank, but not on rock higher up.

Last I saw of Denny frag tank was all tiles so no eggcrate. Gives lots of room for encrusting frags to spread
