    I'll be trying this one out. I work in construction so the 2 x 4's are abundant, so is the cement and the sand. Is it necessary to use reef sand or just any sand will work for this purpose?

    And to think that I clearly remember paying $12.50 for my first bag of 5 frag plugs... ::)

    homegrowncorals thank you for making that video! I have a very small LFS up in the north woods of MI and have been wondering about making my own frag plugs and you just answered every question I had about the subject! I am amazed more people didn't jump on this thread since from what I can gather a lot of reefers like to try fragging thier corals.

    Thanks again, great video!
