I make mine out of white cement and reef sand. LOL I use an old muffin pan for the larger ones. You have to let them cure for 4-6 weeks before using them tho. My toilet tank is usually full of them

I can give you a couple of 4"x4" pieces of travertine if you like. I also have a few 1"x1" if you need. Let me know.

Travertine is what you can use. If there is glue on them just give them a 10-15 minute soak in white vinegar. I find that Home Depot has a better selection of smaller tiles then Rona does, however it might be different at your prefered location.

Super glue works better on these tiles then epoxy in my experience.

Thanks for the reply's. I was thinking tile but didn't know how safe it would be for a reef. I'm planning mulitple monti frags together so that's why I was looking for something bigger than a typical frag plug.

Here's where I got the idea...(scroll about half way down)

Go to the super market and find the biggest scallop you can find, (giant scallop) you should be able to find one close to 4 inches. Enjoy the scallop, clean the shell and presto...

Wow, great idea. Guess the other option is go get a small piece of live rock or base rock and tilesaw it down if needed (assuming you have access to one!)

Your gonna have to update us later on on whether you were able to get it to work like on the link. I read the same link and was contemplating doing the same think, good to know you are on it.

Aha! Great ideas!

I have actually had the same plan since I saw Emster's thread on RC a couple months ago.

Now I know what I'm doing tonight! I already have 2x red montis, and 2x green montis grown out ready to glue
