rad! So from what I gather you could probably attatch any incrusting coral. I like the way the Montipora's plate out though. I think after my coffee I'll start mixing some putty.

It looks kinda cool, I'm seriously thinking about buying the rock frag version. It has free shipping as well. I'm just wondering how much weight it takes before it comes crashing down on my corals below it.

Depending on the magnet...probably quite a bit! especially if it's on a thin overflow vs. thick glass.


Also, Chaloupa your pumpkin monti is delicious!!

I use small mag floats . I have two mag floats with caps on them . One on my overflow and one on the back glass. In my last tank I glued to different cours two the overflow with frag glue and it worked well. They were two small pieces though.


Heres a stag glued to a frag plug to the overflow.

Power heads are a good surface to glue frags or caps to as well.

RIO 1100 with cap

SEIO 1500


You can also make the mag floats into frag trays by drilling 1/2" holes into them. You do though want to put some silicone in the holes to seal up the magnet again.

I will take a few shots tonight of the caps and post them.

The rock version is great. I bought a piece at last year's MACNA and it is very solid. Nice shapes and I have quite a few frags sitting on it right now, hasnt moved a bit. It takes quite a bit of effort even to move the thing a little bit.
