I've seen a variety of coral rejuvenation stories over time, and noticed the use of strings or other ways of growing out frags. For example: https://www.wsj.com/science/florida-coral-reef-climate-change-heat-wave-6d5ee30b
I've also in the past heard the idea of laying sps frags gorgeous horizontally versus straight up, as a way to get more light across the entire body.
Has anyone ever done this in a frag tank, or even in a display? Seems like it could be a cool look, and solve a variety of complications in a frag tank. I'm imagining a thin grid across the top and bottom of the tank. Attach sps frags to fishing line, and then connect the line to the grid.
Benefits would be minimal detritus spots, minimal algae growth spots, easy ability to control light levels by changing the frag height, and ability to vertically stack / offset frags. Main cons be would be only useful for certain types of frags, and likely difficult for fish to deal with.
Might be a dumb idea, but seems interesting.
