Nick,
Boston Aqua Farms Frag Disks are the ones I use. They are killer plugs, his site has been down for the last couple of weeks, but seems to be working now. I usually buy 1000 at a time and they are like .18 each. So not bad, I am trying to place another order in the next week or so. I know Bob wants some, and I finally got back a hold of them there. He is a great guy, the plugs are pre cured, so its a win, win.
update, I just read his site, his site was down, something to do with there provider
.. So everything is all good now ..

not really, he wants some and you want some that is fine with me, just pay what I pay for them, and shipping to you
Since I am going to get a lot more then you would, I think the price is better. I am just waiting to hear from Gary on ordering them. But heck yeah you can get them for what we pay for them ... Thats what friends are for right?
I need a camera (Gary are you out there hehe)

I bought some of both the disks and the plugs. The plugs are fine for upright planted small frags of acropora. They'll take a considerable amount of flow if you have them in eggcrate or a drilled acrylic rack. The disks on the other hand are larger OD but without the extension on the bottom to hold them in place you'll need to place them somewhere without so much current.
I wish they had the disk size as a plug because I'd prefer to do larger frags than the all so common 1" stick.

what are you guys using to attach your frags to these plugs?--MattComment
-
SPS?
Superglue gel from Dollar Tree, 3 tubes for 99¢
That will work for small frags with a good even cut or for mounting horizontal (no jokes please).
Larger frags on the plugs or disks that may not have an even bottom to glue to I use a superglue/epoxy/superglue sandwich.
In any case I keep the mounts in the sump until ready to use. Then at frag time I decide how many mounts I'll need and put the glue on those first. Then cut-up the coral and stick-em on. The extra time gives the glue some time to set.
