Frag Plugs

I do not know if this is the right forum but here it is ..

I read on a few sites that marble acts as a great frag plug and frags seem to encrust it quicker than reg plugs. I bought a piece of marble tile for another reef project and could not find it unfinished . A vinegar/water bath removed all the polish and left it nice and porus . I left it in overnight and the solution was mostly water .
A cheap way to get frag plugs or possibly line the bottom of a tank . Cheap 12x12 marble cost only a few dollars and Im sure some tile stores would give or sell you damaged ones for close to nothing . There are also always scraps at lowes/HD by the tile saw,also nice thick saddle marble scraps . If you ask a manager they will usually let you have them ,they are only going to toss them out in the trash.

This is true Paul. The saddles are pure, with no glazing, just polished to a high gloss. I've used tiles for years. They also make fraging easier.
