    I herd a rumor the other day from my LFS and the guy was saying that there is a new type of frag rack that suposedly looks like a piece of live rock. Has anyone herd of this? Anyone have a link to this?

    guy at my LFS started building frag racks out of acrylic and magnets for his growout tanks, working pretty well cause you just drill the acrylic for the size of the plugs that fit in it, but I want to say that I have seen a fake rock one lately also

    i have seen them. You can buy them from several online retailers. I was at a fellow reefers house yesterday and noticed one in his tank. They look very real and you can't even tell they are frag racks.

    I have one:
    Fired Ceramic Frag Station
    It's ok.. If you have a nice flat rock it would be easier and much cheaper to just drill your own. It's not easy to find the nice flat rocks though. I have the 10 position one and it's nice but I think it's overpriced and does look kinda fake until it gets some coraline on it.
