make them youself. it cost just pennies to make them. ive gone through about 2000 already and it would have been kinda pricey to buy that many. if u dont have time to wait for curing go to home depot and get the famowood 2 part epoxy glazing for wood finishing and mix with sand or crushed coral. there is a thread on making faux sandbeds with it somewhere here on rc. it costs about 16-18 bucks but you should get at least 400-600 plugs out of it depending on size of the plugs. it takes 72 hours to fully harden and you can use them right away.

ok thanks ALTI

sharkdude, do you think that we could get a group buy on these things in the socal thread? cause 45 bux for100 is pricy

$45 for 100 may seem pricy upfront, but just add an extra $1 to your frag sales price and you are covered.

For frag framer retailers like Alti, it makes sense to mass produce. For someone like you Gemini, who is very limited production goals, just bust up some dead rock.
Or propose a group DIY project and everyone goes home with some.

I'm pulling about 50lbs out of my curing tank this afternoon. They have been in a 28 gallon tank with my RO/DI waste water overflowing for 12 weeks.

PM if you are interested in some. I don't usually sell them, but I have a lot right now, so I might as well get rid of some for cheap.

If your going to buy something like that, just use golf tees

WAY THICKER AND WIDER THAN A TEE
