How Do YOU mount your Frags?

[Clink51]

Im just curious as to how people are mounting frags on to the tanks. i find a hole that fits the plug in an area that i think the frag would do good and hope for the best. but im trying to get rid of all of the damn plugs. I have heard glue, wedging and even sowing into place.

i wanna hear all the ways you guys mount them! (the corals to the rock not the...:bunnies:....)

Personally, I break most frags off of the plug, even if they are encrusted on and then glue directly to the desire location.

I put my frags on a frag rack and over a period of weeks to a few months I raise the frag rack till I see the corals color look the best. I then snip the bottom of the plug off and find a spot on the rocks at that level. I use crazy glue then epoxy then crazy glue then put it in place. It don't bother me to have the remaining plug. In a few months the coral covers it and you can't even notice it's there anymore

I break all off plugs and glue directly to rock with dollar store superglue gel two tubes for a buck can't go wrong
I HATE PLUGS !!!

I try to make it look as natural as possible. Unless it's zoas or palys then I just try to stick the plug in a hole in the rock or on the sandbed and eventually they cover the entire plug

I do the same as nanoreefer. I don't mind the disks because they encrust overtime. Easier to frag in the future as well for zoas.

do you glue outside or inside the water?

You have to put the glue on the frag outside of the water and then stick it wherever you want and make sure you hold it for about a 30-60 seconds. When the glue hits water it makes a film and start hardening, it would be a mess to do it underwater IMO

Clink, if you come by for the stand. I'll show you how I glue frags.

I like to break/cut the frag off of the plug, then crazy glue it into a spot on the rock. Especially if it has encrusted, because I can usually then keep the plug and start growing another frag or make a free donation to a fellow reefer.

Frag Plugs

I have been using these and really like the natural look and the fact that the nub snaps off,although I do find it easyer to snap off before mounting the coral as I have had the coral also pop off when cutting off after.
