    check out blackrockreef... they make some pretty nice ones. I just got the 15$ one free shipping.. heard they are really nice. You might need the bigger magnets one though. Check them out.

    I'm not sure what's better. I agree that the Eshopps leaves a lot to be desired. I set one up on my 93g and the magnets are pretty weak. You touch it and it moves. Also, the edge is sharp, not beveled and the acrylic frag plugs are just too light. I don't think it could hold heavier frag plugs though. So, it wouldn't be my first choice if I did it again.

    eshopp frag cave I love these and have several in our tanks. They look like natural rocks and you dont have to worry about magnets.

    The bad thing about the cave, is pay attention to your growth of the frags. In my sps tank, we are having RAPID growth and I lost track and the corals have encrusted over plugs onto the cave. We now have coral warfare going on because the encrusting is touching each other. So tomorrow I will be taking a dremel to one of mine and cutting it up!

    The other thing i have done (which I dont like the way frag racks look period) is take some eggcrate and get a good magnet at the LFS and epoxy it on.
