frag tiles?

[tim the toolman]

I'm pretty sure they are just the tile sheets that come all together from home depot and then the connecting fibers are cut to free up the tiles. Ya know the ttpe that are pre assembled for back splashesa and the like. Many sizes and colors to choose from

that's what I was thinking but was worried about getting the wrong ones and leaching contaminants.

Yah I would say you would want to stick with undyed natural stone options for sure. Then again they may have some all glass options as well. But stone would be my first pick esdpecially since it would probably come alive and coraline up eventually

Its apparently called travertine tiles. look like natural stone tiles. I think I'm going to let them soak for a couple weeks in my toilet to soak the contaminates off.

If you soak in the toilet you might get some other contaminantes in. lol

Hundreds of people on reef central use them and have had no problems.

You can buy 25 frag tiles from bulk reef supply for 4 dollars
