darrellw Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I saw these on "Mr. Saltwater TV" last week, and decided to try them in my tank: http://aqua-mags.com/ I bought one Rock-Mag and one Rock-Mag Jr, knowing that they would be a little big for my tank, but figuring I could "sculpt" them. I got them yesterday, and went ahead and put them in as-is. I will be making the large one a bit smaller, but I'm very happy with them. Now I need more frags Sorry for the quick & crappy pictures. -Darrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yah i've seen those they are pretty cool. Great idea. How heavy are they and what are they made of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrellw Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Yah i've seen those they are pretty cool. Great idea. How heavy are they and what are they made of? They are very light, they are as much air as solid material. The larger one was actually floating, due to trapped air. I believe they are "agrocrete", aragonite and portland cement.

sharoleb Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Very, very cool. It adds a whole nother dimension to the tank, making it look more like a reef. Now I want one LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharoleb Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Normally I would have nominated you to make it easier for ME (laugh) but you have been busy, and I've never run one of these before so probably it's about time I did.

NoobtoSalt Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Lead away. You will do just fine.

Smann Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I saw the video also, I was thinking of getting one and making a frag rack. Do you know what the max thickness they will work with? 3/4"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharoleb Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 1/2" . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 if they are made from portland cement you might want to cure them about a month, like frag plugs made of the same stuff most people put them in their toilet tank to cure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGooseWhisperer Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I usually keep a bucket of used SW after my WCs and have frag plugs or extra scraps of rock in it. Is there any problem with this method? Are these rocks thick enough to drill a hole in for golf tee frag plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda new to the hobby, comparatively. And on the computer it's hard to gauge....... is this sarcasm saying they are fit for the toilet or are you serious and this is what people really do?
