Reason to do this.
Hate having to pull out my torches glued on rock every time I want to inspect the health of my torches. Also waste glue by reglue back on rocks. Sometimes i would damage the coral by taking it out. With this I can take out and inspect with ease. Also able to take pictures and video.
Items need
-ceramic rings
-acrylic rods 6mm
-frag plugs
-coral glue (IC Gel Glue)
-cutting device( bandsaw/ dremel)
Steps
1. Cut rods to small size (measure rod to ceramic rod and cut according to length of the ceramic ring). Use bandsaw or dremel. Be careful.
2. Cut the bottom part of the frag plug of your choice (sand the bottom for smooth surface if you want but don’t have to)
3. Attach acrylic rod to frag holder. Give time to cure. Usually put under water to cure.
4. Glue ceramic rings to rocks. be careful and check if the ceramic ring big enough size some of them small so test before use ceramic ring. Allow time to cure.
5. Attach desired coral to modified frag plug and plug into ceramic ring glued to rock.
