Frag-Loc. Who knows what it is?

ficklefins · Oct 30, 2006

Have you guys heard of this frag-loc thing? Supposedly it is a new way to secure frags down without glue. The person is selling the idea alone on ebay and making $20 a pop on it.

Anybody want to share with me?

Think it is just being all hyped up?

da6d2003 · Oct 30, 2006

Personally, I think it's based on dark matter. I wouldn't want that anywhere near my tank.

The frag loc is a piece of pvc. It has a slit cut into it to hold frags. From my own personal experience they're junk. They are hard to open and they squeeze what ever you put in there to tight.

aqua-mags.com has a much better way to mount frags, they work great for sps; growth has been great for me, i think that getting the frag out into the flow helps it immensly

Looks like someone's gotta cough up $10.48 to solve everyone's curiosity.

raider77, post some pictures, please.

The maker (kyroguy) does have some pics of what seems to be the frag-loc. White pieces below the shrimp.

i suppose that some pvc with rubberbands and slits in it would hold softies well, but how do you attach the pvc?

ditto on those magnet things for frags. i've seen twons and they are pretty cool.

got a link twon? i want to buy a couple to try out. i'd like to mount some caps on the back wall or something to get them out of the way.

i agree they are pricey, especially when bought in bunches, but magnets are expensive, especially strong ones

I know someone locally has attached zoas with them, as you can see in the pic below, they are strong enough to hold a rock with the oregon tort on it, and its in a whole lot of flow, basically a 6100 is glancing off the back wall up at it.

At our reef meeting in august two members brought a box of them to give out as samples, and i have since bought a dozen more. I was planning to pick some up this week from him, so lmk which strenght magnet you want and i can get him to meet us at atlantis when we go up there. no shipping charges.

Sperglue gel is your friend young grasshoppers ! LOL!

From what I can tell of those frag locktite thing a mabobers ist that they are basicly just
Those little flower thingies you get with a single rose that holds the water.
They are hollow, and the stem plunges throuhg a star shaped cut thats flexible so that ever your putting in there cant come out easly ( like finger cuffs)

"Sperglue gel is your friend young grasshoppers ! LOL"

I agree. I just gel rocks to the back of the tank wall. If you don't like where it is, just snap it off.
