    Frag Plug Making and Plug Holder “FORGET ABOUT IT”.

    This are plugs that will last for over 100 years in water, I called and verified with “Cement Mix” Safe for ponds after cure, no toxic chemicals, 9000 psi after 28 days, this plugs are super duper strong “FORGET ABOUT IT”. You must let them cure before introducing to the aquarium for at least 45 days.

    Step 1 make the forms

    The curing to bring to a natural PH is 28 days in water, the cement is all natural, you can download the DATA sheet from the above link and I also called about 3 times myself and spoke to their chemist. I would cure in water for about 45 days. Also you can pretty much use the media of your choice

    You could probably cure them in a plastic basket in your toilet tank. The water would change every time you flushed it.
    Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste any on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; its like saying you extend the life of your car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
