my DIY frag plugs

what do you guys think of the DIY frag plugs and disks? the larger plugs are 1 1/8" with a 3/8" stem, smaller plugs are 3/4" with a 3/8" stem. the small disks are 1 1/8" large disks are 3 1/2". I have made 2 5 gal buckets full of plugs and disks so far. i'm thinking of also making 2" disks and i'm working on a way to make square tiles.

 

Matt, loving those 2" disks... these look nice!

 

The disk pictured is 3 1/2" I haven't made any 2" ones yet

 

They look great!

 

oh haha.. well, I'm sure the 2" will look as nice as that 3.5" !

 

Matt! Love the look!


Turned out a lot better than mine! I think this could be one of our next DIY meetings if you would be willing to help lead it or teach me how to do it so I can!!!

 

What are they made out of?

 

Portland cement and reef sand same thing as DIY live rock and I'm 99% sure its the same as other name brand frag plugs

 

can you make any of those ones they had for clams awhile ago?

 

I was thinking about it and I would have to make it the same way as square tiles which would require me to make a silicone mold which is kind of expensive. I'm actually thinking of making these plugs and disks as a little side business and if I do I might be willing to spend the money to make the molds

 

how do you have time for another side job matt

 

You're going to need a bigger table at Frag fest or all those plugs lol

 

i dont have time but i'm greedy so ill make time LOL just kidding. its just another way to support my aquarium habbit that i'm addicted to

 

they're nice,I would be one to buy sometime,it comes in handy than wait for the next bulk buy for other stuff.way to go matt,anything for the hobby is possible.

 

i went ahead and made a mold for 2 1/8" disks. here is a picture of them along with all the other sizes i can make
