I just made some frag plug, and that have been in my toilet tank for 3 day, I know that is not even half as long as they need to stay in there. but how can I tell when the are ready for me to use?

If you made them out of concrete, it would be better to put them in a bucket of freshwater instead.

Testing pH usually is the way to tell when they are safe. Elevated pH comes off concrete that isn't safe yet.

Change the water in the bucket weekly, or if you want daily. But before you test for pH, I'd let it soak at least 24 hours in the same untouched water.
