I have a few trades going right now so i had to make some frags. In addition i needed a place to hold the frags so they could heal and grow out. Made a simple little frag tray with a walmart magnetic glass cleaner and some eggcrate. Total cost = 5 bucks ;) I also got some ceramic plugs off ebay. I hope to make some of my own soon

The rack/crate is glued to the Magnet and thus it can be moved around. :D Nifty isnt it??

Yep Rev got it!

Randy - ya sure did. Came out nicely as you can see. Your NG frag is that middle one with 3 polyps and your PD is one of those singles ;) As soon as it grows onto the plug it will be ready!!

I've seen that before, i just don't like the idea of suction cups. But it works well to hold the frags.

good stuff...

next time, I would recommend sanding the left over cutting from the eggcrate.. it might save you some pain and band aids later on... be careful when you're working close to the frag holder.. :)

awesome looking frags though.. :D

Thanks for the compliments!

nice impur, I have been putting off making one, partly because I worry my son may move the magnet, but may have to put on the back. I made a few PPE frags yesterday, so now I may be needing a rack soon.

You could just send the PPE frags my way and you wouldn't have to worry about the frag tray!!!

LOL
