I want to make frag plugs....HELP

Need Receipes...PLEASE!
I've become a frag addict...I want to make my own frag plugs so I can make them 'cool lookin' I know there must be a 'formula' for the compound I can use safely...

do a search for DIY rock. Would be the same thing

 

you mean what to connect the frags with? allot use frag jell. I use super glue myself.

edit sorry I thought she meant glue.lol

you can buy frag rock the has holes drilled into it that the plugs fit into.

 

I have heard people use bottle caps filled with crushed aragonite then put super glue the runny kind on it so it will fuse the crushed aragonite to gether then remove newly formed plugg.. I am sure a couple trial and errors will perfect this ....

Good luck..!!

 

I got a receipe that calls for 1 part portland cement and
3 parts aragonite...Can this be right?

 

Yep, that's been around for years

 

I sometimes use epoxy to make plugs

 

Does it matter the brand or make of epoxy...I guess as long as it's cured long enough...it's alright to put in the tank..........

 

Hey... I use silicone and sand.

Step one. Get some Sand
Step two. Get some silicone
Step three. Mix it in to moldable shapes
Step four. leave to dry in sand bed, lightly dusted with sand.
Step five. Rinse, lather and repeat!

Easy and cheap. You can make piles of this stuff. The part I like most is placement. They can be squeezed into tight spaces.

If your a coral frag'er you these are perfect because when its frag time you pull it out and cut down the middle, into the coral and the sand goop plug. no float aways and can be done in the tank with the quick slide of the blade.

 

I like this idea.. might try that.
