Quantum Standard Frag Plug – 20 Pack

Description

Quantum Standard Frag Plug 20 Pack — 20 mm Ceramic Frag Plugs with 10 mm Stem for Reef Racks

Every reef keeper who cuts a coral ends up with the same question: what to stick it to. Quantum Standard Frag Plug 20 Pack (SKU: QA700420) is the everyday answer from the Reef Essential range: twenty ceramic plugs with a 20 mm disc and a 10 mm stem, the format that fits the holes in almost every frag rack sold. The disc top is deliberately rough so coral glue keys in and new tissue has something to grip, and the ceramic is ICP-OES analysed so it goes into the tank without a curing period.

Twenty plugs suits a home reef where fragging is occasional: a broken acropora tip after a snail bumps it, a montipora edge worth sharing, a zoanthid patch that needs thinning. The 20 mm disc is small enough that a frag looks like a frag rather than a plug with a speck on it, and the standard stem means the same racks, magnetic holders and egg-crate work whether you later move to the 50 pack or the larger 32 mm plug. When the coral outgrows the disc, the stem snips off and the plug glues flat onto rock.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• SPS tips: Acropora, stylophora and pocillopora cuttings take well to a small textured disc and encrust over it within weeks.
• Zoanthid and mushroom singles: One or two polyps on a 20 mm plug grow into a saleable frag.
• Rack storage: The 10 mm stem seats in standard frag-rack holes and magnetic holders, so new cuts stay upright while they heal.
• Occasional fragging: A twenty pack keeps plugs on hand for the odd breakage or trade without a drawer full of them.

How to Use

• Ready from the pack: No curing or leaching period; rinse in tank water if you wish and mount straight away.
• Dry the disc: Blot the top face and the coral’s cut end so the glue bonds to ceramic.
• Bead and hold: A small dab of coral glue on the rough face, then hold the frag steady for a few seconds until it sets.
• Rack, then rock: Grow the frag out in a rack, and glue the plug to rockwork once it has encrusted.

Product Specifications & Highlights

Key Features

• Standard 20 mm disc: The size most racks and holders are built around.
• 10 mm stem: Seats firmly in rack holes and egg-crate.
• ICP-OES analysed: Batch-tested ceramic that can be used without curing, so a broken tip is mounted the same evening.
• Rough top surface: Better grip for glue at mounting time and faster encrusting as the frag grows.
• Made in the United Kingdom: Consistent from plug to plug and pack to pack.
