I like the oceans wonders ceramic plugs when I buy them

Aren't those aragonite, I don't recall seeing ocean wonders ceramic plugs.

What does everyone use for plugs that is something I haven't figured out. I want black plugs like most of the vendors since it is supposed to cut down on algae on the plug, but those are hard to find in a ceramic.

I almost remounted my frags today, had a lot of algae on them and opted to scraping and cleaning them.

Can't believe my tang didn't chow down on some of it though, it looked like Ulva sea lettuce. Rack may be to high up for it to notice it.

Nah frags are only meant for frag racks, it's even in the name!

All jokes aside my stems get clipped and glued/epoxied to the rocks from day one

Why do you glue the stems to the rocks? That's kinda weird.

Oceans wonders has purple ceramic plugs but they are smaller

Wish there was a tang equivalent for 32 gallon tanks. My starry blenny does decent eating things, but ulva isn't on the menu.

What do you guys think about my new rockscape?

That's what I use, fine for small SPS frags, not so much for LPS. Or pieces of rubble.

I think I got the Reefing Art purple ceramic ones. They're pretty good, but when algae grows in the grooves it's hard to clean.

Looks like they have a large size plug too on Amazon! Thanks!

My Hector's Goby is always picking.

They are like trying to cut a masterwork if you ever have to cut one

Looks great, that is huge!

I don't really like the view straight on...but the side view and that top angle view are dope

I don't usually cut the stems off. For gluing purposes it would be helpful.

I sold a lot of zoas for a while and trying to cut pieces off of the RA plugs was eventful. Arogonite was the easiest but they attracted a lot of algae..the ceramic Ocean Wonders were the best of both worlds

Thanks for the feedback. The back pillars are cemented and secure everything else upfront is not. I'm adding these rocks to an existing reef tank already. The idea is pillars with selves up top in the back then transition with arches to the front with shelves cascading.

I got mine for Christmas two years ago. I was in the process of trying to frag stuff in the 75, but the crash gave me a bunch of plugs back...

I bought Reef Creators frag plugs on Amazon because they were supposed to be break away plugs. Hard to find the perfect ones.

Maybe just tweak the fronts a hair so its not 4 straight lines? Either way, The rock is set up perfect for growth...once the coral is growing on it the view will be totally different and it won't look like 4 straight lines.
