So I just stupidly purchased and received my eshopps frag rack, not noticing that it's only good for glass up to 3/8". Now, why someone with a tank small enough to only use 3/8" glass would want such a large frag rack, I don't know. Anyway, does anyone make one that is good for at least 1/2" glass. When I say at least, I mean because I also actually have frags on it, some being large :bigsmile:

They look good! I might diy my frag tank Rack with acrylic one day, egg crate is just too weak, and light, the powerheads knock empty ones over!

I bought some Sea Side Aquatics frag racks and I love them. I have 1/2 inch glass and the magnets hold super tight. I bought the large ones that hold 23 frag plugs for like $30 each. Come in black or clear acrylic. Got them from Garrett at Fragtastic Reef.

team I was needing just small single ones for a nano, does anyone know where I can get just a single frag holder, small magnet setup for pico to hold frags on glass? im using a nano mag cleaner currently glued to the backside with a frag...but that wont last long the metal w begin to rot from constant submersion

are there single magnet setups only for 1 frag?

i like ReefingArt and/or IceCaps - both work very well in my tank, which has 1/2" glass... i really like the design and look of the ReefingArt racks
