What size are the plugs? I would be interested in some. I am guessing it is plus shipping, so how much is that going to add?
Shipping within the US is $18. I'm thinking of ordering them next Monday and pick them up over the weekend.
FYI i currently have 4 members in on this group buy including myself. Shipping cost would come to $4 per person if you were to join. Then the next step is to arrange a way for you to get them from me.

A few grow racks would be cool. Maybe ready for fragfest?

Hi guys, Sorry to jump in on your conversion. I recently picked up a 3D printer and have been making Frag racks. Check out this link and if you are interested I can make a couple - the cost would be only for machine time & material. I can send a picture of the ones I have printed off if you wanted too

Looks very nice. One recommendation is to get rid of the suction cups, they don't hold up in a reef tank.

How does one go about making their own frag plugs. I'm looking into setting up a frag tank system. Want to try to do it on the cheap

general use portland cement and crushed coral then alot of experimenting to figure out the right combination that coral like and about a 2 month leech and cure process then your ready to make
Ditch the suction cups they wont hold plugs up for long.... should make a groove for a rare earth magnet and seal it in with epoxy so it doesnt make water contact one on outside dont matter. Just my 2 cents

just a question, i my be out of wack here but why frag plugs? I have been fragging for years and always use live rock rubble. when placing it looks much more natural and doesn't look frag store bought. when I purchase new frags I have to remount them onto rubble. my goal is to have a more natural realistic looking display.

I think the more serious thing in this post is that someone has a 3d Printer. How awesome is that? When can I put in my order for a car?

agreed but when having a fragtank trying to move and organize can be a little easier with plugs and my arooganite and portland ones can be custom made to any shape and blend in well with lr. Its all in preference but for trading and selling plugs are the way to go most people just break off the plug and add to lr anyway then keep stub in frag tank to keep growing a backup

I do the same thing, I sometimes use a hammer and chisel at times. sometime frag plugs too though.
And I thank you for doing it! Nothing distracts the eye when looking at tank of the month/year material, and seeing all the squares, and circles at the base of the coral!
