Frag Holders

[LoneStar]

I have seen people use eggcrate attached to the glass sides of the tank to hold frags up. I know I can buy a magnetic glass cleaner and epoxy some eggcrate to it but is there a company that sells something similar to this?

Also, these look pretty interesting too!

I have something similar to the mag-rack. Be careful when you work with it. If you push down on it too hard the whole thing will slam down against the glass. All of the coral frags will fall out. I've seen another type that has some eggcrate on the bottom like a shelf rack to prevent it from moving.

I purchased some on eBay like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/Magnetic-Coral-Frag-Rack-Medium-Straight_W0QQitemZ260279291182QQihZ016QQcategoryZ4 6308QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Jamie had sent me this. I made one with the suction cup type holders and is working great.

I did use superglue at the connection points.

Bingo thats the ones I've seen in the past. Unless this guy restocks, I'm gonna give Marks link a shot.

If you use the aqua mag will the coral grow straight out or out and up?

If on there long enough, will grow up.

I bought an acrylic frag rack so that it would be easier to clean. I love it!

I made a huge hang on with just egg crate and zip ties. I also used supports made of zip ties so I could make the rack very large. Should hold about 60 or so frags...

Nice! I like that it is modular and can be extended outward. I have a hard time reaching my frag rack in the back of the tank. Plus, I have to be careful not to knock the thing down. Does anyone have an scrap pieces of black eggcrate they would like to sell?

[DrMark]

I like it a lot. I have just implemented my new frag tank today, so for now, no more suction cup eggcrate in the big tank.

I use this super lazy one...egg crate and a algae clip. Gets the job done.

How ironic, I just made a little rack for my tank today.

yes, the frag rack is in the tank in this pic. I wanted it to be as out of sight as possible. It worked out pretty well I think. Now I don't have frags all over the sandbed in my tank.

I built it exactly as you described, egg crate, epoxy, and a cheap little mag cleaner. The only thing I did different is spray it with some fusion to make it even less noticable.
