That's not sweat, but close enough! And I'm not running it through an RO for my tank. This isn't Waterworld, sir! And I'm not Kevin Costner.

It'll do in a pinch. A few more minor tweaks and we should be golden!

My wife said "Why is it so tall?"

Ummm... Sand is 2.5" deep.

I did the frag plug holes at 12mm. They're too small for most of my drag plugs. Gonna redesign at 13 or 14 with no "holding teeth".

Also, glued a bunch of the frags that were laying around my sand bed.

You could try a circular/triangular shape hybrid, kind of like a wankel engine piston. Would give you a solid 3 points of contact and may be flexible enough to get a little wiggle to fit both plug stems and get a bit of grip too. Maybe, just a thought as sit on my thinking chair.

Even if you win! congrats. I don't mind who does. But, it gives all of those who doesn't have a hg torch a free chance at one.
I was actually going to get your address and have him ship it to you if I won.

Scoly is a 76-78f type coral. I was thinking about getting one until I found out they like cooler waters.
I'm out. I run my tank at 78. It peaks at 79.4 a couple of times a week.
