What is a Coral Frag? A coral frag is simply a fragment of a coral. Instead of saying coral fragments we often refer to them as a frags. 10 years ago in the aquarium hobby the idea of buying, selling or trading frags was still relatively new. Now frags are the commonly accepted form of coral […]

Our new store is 90% done. Still some small things to set up. Thought we would share photos of what we think is Toronto’s coolest new saltwater coral store and what went into building it. Took about 2 solid months of working at it everyday. At some points it was daunting and depressing. Wasn’t easy […]
Pineapple Express Palythoa Ah a classic! Fragbox corals first coined the infamous pineapple express is 2008. They were first acquired from Taiwan. We got about 12 heads and they were probably the nicest paly in our collection at the time. The paly was deserving of a name and we came up with it after watching […]
Here is a sight we all hope to never experience. It’s truly a living nightmare but a sad reality for many in this hobby.
You got to check out this amazing 400 gallon SPS Dominated reef tank. 6 foot long peninsula style built by miracle aquariums in Ontario. The tank is nearly 10 years old and it easy to tell. Its super mature with many colonies larger than dinner plates. The glass is 3/4” thick all starphire with euro […]
Stability Nothing brings me more joy in this hobby than a large, happy, healthy, polyps out, growing, colorful sps coral. The key to this magnificent site is stability. It may seem so simple and it is in someways and in many ways it isn’t. In dealing with stability I find the most important value to monitor in […]
I can’t not express how important it is to take care with your wiring in and around a salt water tank. Here is a perfect example of what you should NOT do. This is simply an accident waiting to happen. On top of being dangerous and haphazard, it also makes it difficult to perform maintenance on […]
Gone but not forgotten Was looking through some of our old photos cleaning out a hard drive and came across this old folder with photos of tons of amazing zoanthid and palythoas we have had in the past. Most of them just frags but some colonies as well. I thought it would be cool to […]

Many of you already know what price per polyp means. Some of you may not and I would like to take a second to explain the meaning of it and why some zoas are priced per polyp. I will use zoa and paly (zoanthid/palythoa) interchangeably throughout this as it applies to both. Priced per polyp simply refers […]
Was cleaning out a hard drive and found some old photos of some of the nicest acans we have had. Dont know what my obsession is with acans but have always loved them. They first became available five or six years ago and there was a reefer craze for these special LPS. The hype never […]
When I came across this thread on reef central my jaw hit the floor. This has to be one of the most remarkable and crazy reef aquarium builds. Ever… The owner constructed an enormous addition to the home just to accommodate this insanely massive tank. From the skimmer to the RODI system, quarantines systems to […]
Dont always listen to what you read on-line. Especially topics regarding this hobby. There are many knowledgeable reefers out there and a wealth of knowledge on the forums. But not everyone understands exactly what they are saying. Sometimes someone’s advice can have implications on your tank and your animals in a very negative way. No one knows […]
A little not so well known fact, emerald crabs do in fact eat bryposis. I hope no one ever contracts this horrible algae. It is probably one of the toughest algaes to beat in the hobby. I know many that have given up and just tolerate small amounts in their tank. We at Fragbox have […]
Check out this beautiful in wall 500 gallon tank. The cabinetry on it just flawless. Who wouldn’t want one these in their living rooms?

Ever seen a yellow tang like this? Would you like one in your tank?
The RW Series of propeller pumps succeed the very popular WP line. The RW pump has a different look to widen the flow and also make them quieter than the already silent WP’s.

We recently had the pleasure of visiting Manhattan Aquariums in New York City and wow were we impressed. When we first arrived we had trouble finding it.
