Propagation is part art, part routine

Whether you’re fragging for growth management or building a dedicated frag system, success comes from clean tools, stable parameters, and low-stress handling. (And for spawning: patience and observation.)

Fragging basics (safe workflow)

  • Use clean, dedicated tools
  • Work quickly (reduce air exposure)
  • Mount frags securely
  • Return to stable flow and light

Spawning note (realistic expectations)

Many corals spawn based on maturity, stability, and seasonal cues. Most home reefers focus first on keeping corals thriving long-term—spawning tends to follow stability, not shortcuts.

Parameter priorities after fragging

  • Stable alkalinity
  • Stable temperature
  • Stable salinity

Support products

After fragging and maintenance, stability products can help reduce swings and support recovery.
