Default Custom Frag Racks

Does this look similar? Can't clean the glass because the frag racks are in the way? Tired of looking at magnets/magfloats and suction cups?

Here is my solution.

Design a custom frag rack that can be mounted to the eurobrace or regular tank with 1” offset away from the glass to allow the mag cleaner to go through.

Cool idea , I do like the fact that you can clean the glass around the frag rack , but I think it's a trade off having to look at all that acrylic hanging there. It looks like it would restrict the viewing a lot more.

Racks are made with 1/4" Cast Acrylic, and the arms with 1/2" acrylic. Each frag rack will hold 46 frag plugs.

Two models:
Fixed length $35 each or two for $60
Adjustable length from 8-16" $45 each
Optional: Black Acrylic for an additional $5 each

Other Advantages over magnetic or suction cup racks:
No need to get your hands in the tank to add/remove frag rack or frag plugs.
Clean the glass without removing the frag rack
No loss of frags due to magnet or suction cup failure
Made of quality materials, no cracking or bending over time

Willing to ship at buyers expense.

Place your order at P.Ferreira@rogers.com

Thanks for the compliment. My very first client was Alex (FragCave). He replaced four self made racks with two of mine. He actually commented on how nice his Main tank looked again since he didnt have to look at all those suction cups and magnets holding the others up.

My latest client is a well know high end SPS seller in Toronto who ordered four because he lost over a thousand $ worth of corals from the suction cups failing while he was in Mexico on vacation.

The arm is only 2" wide, made of Clear Acrylic, I think most would agree with me that its allot less hideous looking then some other options out there. With that said the main purpose of designing these were the fact of not having to remove them to clean the tank and not having to constantly put your hands in the tank.

Yeah , I do like the idea of being able to move or add more frags without having to put your arm in the tank.

I bought 4 from Paul and love them.

Here is mine. Can you see the tiger shark magnet behind the rack?
