[formerly icyuodd/icyoud2]

i've been searching the web all morning to find diy info on making coral plugs for my fraggs.

 

just wanted to know if anybody here has done this, and how?

any tips,tricks, and links would be greatly appreciated.

 

is it something i can do with just sand and crazy glue?

thank you.

I suppose you could... You could also buy some el cheapo lace/dead rock from your LFS and break it up with a hammer.

ha ha ha ha, anit no such thing as super cheap rock at my lfs.

 

but i do have some rubble in my aquariums. problem is, the flow in my prop tank keeps knocking the very small frags over. i was hoping to build some of the top hat looking plugs, ti fit right inside the eggcrate.

Krazyglue/sand would work, but you may have better luck with epoxy/sand.

 

It would take a little longer to cure, but you would have more time to mix/mold it. Plus, you could get a large quantity of it for relatively cheap.

there's a thread here somewhere too about using little marble tiles from Lowe's that seemed to be cheap and corals love marble

Id do epoxy and gravel/sand. Roll it into a sheet, then hit it with round cookie cutters (or anything round the size you want, really). Let the pieces dry and bang... plugs.

 

Or chrismas tree shaped cookie cutters. Green zoas on the top, brown on the trunk, and a few red eyes scattered around for ornaments. Wow that would be cool.
