    Anyone know of someplace that sells a plug to put frags on and what type of glue to use? I think I've heard of this before but would like to know what someone that does it uses.
    I have several frags that don't stay put in the sand bed and would love to place them where I want permantely.

    Edens Gate sells them pretty cheap or Ubberfrags has them also you can make them out of concrete also if you do a search you should come up with a couple diffrent ways to make them. I got to the hobby shop and get the best model glue they have in jell form.

    Superglue gel is what most everyone uses, some corals it doesnt work with those are softs mainly, IE Xenia, best bet (what i do) take a small peice of rubble rock and rubberband them to it for about 3 days, they'll affix themselves to the rock. Works the same with plugs if you have them but I've never purchased them
