Instructions for Use

Rinse the plugs with fresh water before use to remove any residual dust. Apply a small amount of reef-safe glue (cyanoacrylate gel) to the top of the plug. Gently position the coral frag onto the glue and hold for a few seconds until adhered. Insert the plug into a frag rack or place it directly on the substrate or rocks in your aquarium. Avoid placing newly glued frags in high-flow areas to allow for better acclimatization.

Recommendations

• Glue: Use a glue specifically designed for reef environments (reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel) for optimal adhesion.
• Storage: Store plugs in a dry place until use.
• Placement: Avoid high-flow areas for freshly glued frags. Allow corals to acclimate gradually.
• Monitoring: Regularly observe frags for any signs of stress or deterioration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Reef Casa Frag Plugs compatible with all frag racks?

Frag Plugs have a 12mm base that fits into the 12mm holes of standard frag racks. This includes Reef Casa racks, standard eggcrate racks, and most frag racks available on the market. Check the hole diameter of your rack before purchase.

What glue should I use to attach corals to Frag Plugs?

Use reef-safe cyanoacrylate gel glue (super glue gel). The gel version adheres better than the liquid version and does not run. Popular brands include reef-safe glue available in most marine aquarium stores. Apply a small amount to the plug, position the frag, and hold for a few seconds.

How long does it take for a frag to encrust on the plug?

Encrustation time varies depending on the type of coral. Encrusting SPS (Montipora, Pocillopora) can start to encrust the plug in 2-4 weeks. LPS generally take longer. The textured ceramic surface promotes natural adhesion and coralline algae growth, which strengthens the coral's attachment to the plug.
