Quantum Standard Frag Plug – 50 Pack

Description

Quantum Standard Frag Plug 50 Pack — Bulk 20 mm Ceramic Frag Plugs for Propagation and Frag Racks

When a rack of fresh cuts is a monthly event rather than a rare one, buying plugs twenty at a time becomes a chore. Quantum Standard Frag Plug 50 Pack (SKU: QA700450) is the bulk version of the Reef Essential 20 mm plug, fifty to the pack, each with the 10 mm stem that drops into standard rack holes and magnetic holders. The top of the disc is textured so coral glue and new tissue grip, and each batch of ceramic is ICP-OES analysed, which is why the plugs can go straight from the pack into a running reef.

The 20 mm size is the workhorse of coral propagation. It carries an SPS tip, a single euphyllia head or a couple of zoanthid polyps without dwarfing them, and it takes up little rack space, so fifty plugs still fit on a modest grow-out shelf. Because the stem matches the rest of the Quantum plug family, a rack can mix standard and large plugs as the frags develop. Once a coral has encrusted over the disc edge, the stem is clipped and the plug glued onto display rock with the coral undisturbed.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Propagation racks: A season’s worth of plugs for keepers who cut and grow corals continuously.
• Branching SPS: Acropora, seriatopora and pocillopora tips mount cleanly on a 20 mm disc and encrust the base as they grow.
• Small LPS and softies: Single euphyllia heads and a few zoanthid polyps grow into full frags on one plug.
• Club nights and sales: Uniform plugs that sit in any customer’s rack and pack neatly into cups for transport.

How to Use

• No curing period: Use immediately, with an optional rinse in tank water; nothing needs soaking beforehand.
• Blot before gluing: Dry ceramic and a dry cut end give coral glue its best bond.
• Small bead, steady hold: Press the frag into the rough face and hold for a few seconds until the glue takes.
• Grow, then glue down: Rack the plug until the coral encrusts over the edge, then clip the stem and fix the disc to rock.

Product Specifications & Highlights

Key Features

• Fifty-plug pack: Bulk supply for propagation racks, frag events and retail systems, bought once a season rather than every month.
• 20 mm disc, 10 mm stem: The standard format for racks, holders and egg-crate.
• ICP-OES analysed: Batch-tested ceramic with no curing required, so a whole rack can be mounted in one sitting.
• Rough top face: Holds glue at mounting time and encourages tissue to spread over the disc.
• UK-made: Consistent dimensions across the whole pack, so every stem fits every rack hole the same way.
