Quick and easy frag plugs?

Raibaru · 09/17/2008, 02:31 PM

I need to make a run to Home Depot/Lowers to get some cyanoacrylate gel for to attach some frags, but I'm all out of disks.

Is there something cheap and easy I can get from these stores that would work just as well? A shattered terracotta pot? Bathroom Tiles? Etc.

Thanks in advance guys.

Live Rock really isn't an option. Not only is it not exactly cheap, but the pieces I need to freag are top heavy and need to be on rather large, flat pieces.

I went to lowes/homedepot to look at their tile. Is marble alright in an aquarium?

I'm uncertain about marble. Plain ceramic should work well.
For what its worth

you can get an acrylic rod and chop it up.

Maybe a stupid question, but does acrylic float?

Though it would work for my torch I need to frag up, it won't for zoas.
