Would there be any way to hang some egg crate on the side of the tank, so that my frags get more light? The lighting I have isn't amazing, and as of right now my frags are sitting on the sand, therefor not getting the amount of light they should be getting. So how would I go about this? Suction cups? I know I've seen this somewhere before, just don't remember where...

Thanks for the help all:rollface:

Make a J bracket with the egg crate itself with a few wire ties...
I would not use anything with suction cups..

Or you can wire tie some clip mounts from a maxi jet to it.

I super glued a piece of egg crate to a magfloat magnet.

Works great as I have low light frags below, and can easily move the egg crate out of the way to get to them.

I have used the j-bracket w/ zip tie method and this works ok. My friiend took a flat piece of eggcrate and epoxied it to to or three aquarium cleaning magnets so he could raise and lower as needed. This works quite well for him and I will probably go that way when I switch out my racks next time.

I put together this frag rack for our 200 gal tank last summer. It worked out very well.
