Abarger16 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Ill soon be in the market for some frag racks and was wondering what everyone uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandVib3s Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Eggcrates, acrylic and drilled holes, dry/live rock and drilled holes. I use then all. White eggcrates can give off phosphates from what I've been told,but will go away after awhile. (Alot of algae build up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a stepper drill bit, it drills into acrylic better than a regular drill bit.less chances of cracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrcrain Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I always used egg crate light diffuser and cut it into smaller pieces. They have it at Home Depot for about $20 for a 4’x2’ panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parzifal Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 The last two Home Depot’s I went to have discontinued it apparently. It was a couple months ago, maybe they brought it back. They only seem to sell it in 5 packs online now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When drilling dryrock do you use masonry bits or standard bits ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The masonry bits just work better and last a lot longer. Regular bits will get dull very quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarger16 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Okay I have a few smaller nice pieces of dry rock that I wanted to put some plug holes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
