I'm so glad you "went there" first Puffer. :angel1: My hubby thinks he is the luckiest man in the world cuz he has a wifey that is into tanks AND works on them topless. "Not only does she do water changes, she does them topless...." :drool:


Nice to know others out there do the same. My husband doesn't mind either when I have to do tank maintenance. lol

Randy, how did you lose 2 colonies by working topless? I'm always afraid of that because i use lotions, sprays, etc. I was my hands and arms the best I can before hand, and then after. And then salt water...makes me want to re-lotion afterwards....and THEN I noticed something feel, ARG!

I always hated buying frags and losing them in the cracks. When I started making the rocks for my tank I started to think about ways to avoid that.

I came up with what became named the frag station. I wanted a place I could use to aclimate corals or grow out frags until I could sell or trade them. I don't like the look of egg crate and I think these work pretty good.
Not everybody can afford or wants to keep a frag tank. With the frag station you can have a mini coral farm in your main tank with it fitting right into your rock structure or at the bottom of your tank.


Here are mine for my big tank. I plan on only buying frags for the tank. Once I have enough livestock I am going to mount my zoanthid colonies to them and let them encrust over plugs so I can continually be making frags without reducing the size of the colony.

I made a lot of these for guys on zoosrus.com when it was still a site. I always figured if it saved one frag from falling into the rocks it pays for itself the first time you use it.

Just a heads up. I do not sell the frag stations anymore. But I do make them for an online vendor and he has a bunch in stock.

Many of you already use the plugs that were designed to be used with the frag stations. Larry at Edens Gate Corals sells the plugs and is a sponsor on this site.

PM me if you want to know the vendor that carries the frag stations.

Did you ever build my custom frag station?
