Frag Discs Boson Aqua Farms
So yeah... I'm wicked lazy and don't want to make my own and wait for them to cure... So I figured I'd buy some from Boston Aqua Farms... Was wondering if anyone else wanted in... They have some other supplies and whatnot... Check it out... I'd like to order before the next meeting... LMK

I'll take two bags of disks...100 disks total. If we need to make a quantity discount, I could always take one more bag. Thanks Randy...I can't friggin' cure my plugs I made because we always use that toilet stuff in the toilets and I'm too lazy to figure out another way.
This is a relatively cheap alternative that means less work for me! Yah! |

Shipping/Handling for the first two bags is $10 and each bag after that (up to 4 total) is $2 additional. Add $1 for each additional item that is not a bag of plugs or disks. We can ship more then one box. Ex. 2 bags of disks, 1 bag of plugs, 1 bottle of glue and 1 set of bone cutters = $14 shipping/handling. We are happy to work with you on shipping, if we use your UPS or FedEx account we may have to charge a small handling fee which pays for packing materials and such.

But you get the jist of the deal... Come one, come all...

Yup... Definately too lazy to do it that way...
That and when I frag... Usually sit down and frag everything I can... So that would be a large amount of uncured discs in my tank... lol

It's not that hard....put them all in a bucket on the porch, put the garden hose in the bucket, turn on the hose for a couple of minutes every few days, remove hose from bucket between flushes (optional).
You can allways put them in the toilet too Randy I'll be happy to do a frag plug making demo during a meeting this summer. We could all pitch in on a bag of arragonite and make a big batch of plugs. I think last time I made some it took me about an hour to make 150 or so....including setup and cleanup. Chris

Actually Chris we did that last summer, but we just made disks...same basic process. Not that we couldn't do it again!
I agree with Randy...I just want convenience (despite the fact that I've got the stuff in my garage too). Just give them to me ready made! I would also take a couple of other things on that list too Randy. |

You put your uncured frag discs in the back of your toilet... This way every time you flush, the water is changed so it fully cures...

Fill a mesh bag full of them and put it in a river for a month then soak in tap water with a touch of bleach for a week to kill anything living on them. Dry them out and Bob's your uncle...
Yes, the toilet bowl method is real.

Interesting. I would have a hard time explaining to my wife why I was putting a ton of balls of cement in the back of the toilet, hahaha!
What are you doing?!?!?! Uhh, nothing? LOL.
