Marking frags

[drainbamage]

Any good way of marking a plug/disc, etc? Sorta requires the method to be waterproof and non-toxic of course :nerd:

Typically I use the commonly sold plugs of one brand or another, but also been utilizing just HD tile too, so not sure if anyone knows what could work on either or both of those. Many thanks!

I am lucky and I have a kiln. I make hundreds of disk for people in my club all the time. All sizes.

Well, sexycorals' plugs came with what looks like black marker on them...he had his frags labled like that....didn't seem to kill anything in my tanks so I figured it wasn't toxic :) ask him!

Sharpie..however that is spelled..i might be right....

Anyways i use it to help draw cut zones on eggcrate for frag racks and once it is in the tank, no toxic related problems occur...i think mike might use sharpie too, please correct me if im wrong tho

Ya I got a bunch with sharpie " permenant marker" on bottom...

so if a sharpie is applied when the plug is dry, it won't smear once in the tank? I've used it on PVC before and never really thought twice about it (large system) but I just sort of assumed it would disolve into the water on the concrete-like frag plugs.

Thanks all, I'll give it a shot next time I'm fragging.

No it don't smear... Make sure it's on the bottom or corraline will cover it in no time...

Easy trick there is just be really lazy about dosing alk/calc-no corraline issues at all that way :sad:

I can never get corraline to grow... I think it's from running a ulns. My corals thrive and corraline is no where to be found..
