where to buy reef plugs locally?

[chem-e]

I'm looking for some reef plugs locally. I like the plugs more than the discs because I can wedge them between rocks.

I thought about ordering some thru Boston Aqua Farms, but they only sell in quantities of 100. I'm looking for about 20 of these plugs, so if anyone knows where to buy them locally, please let me know.

Thanks

I know New Alameda was carrying and I think they still do.

I think the NAA ones were the Boston Aqua Farms discs.

Cut up some branch rock or live rock for mounting frags.

I sliced up a some branch rock on a tile saw a while back. Took about 10 minutes.

Here's a pic of the plugs. Easy enough to wedge into a rock crevice.

You can even bleach them if you want to oxidize any trapped organics in the rock, or if you want them to be a nice white color. Use some dechlorinator afterwards. Pic is before bleaching.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Unfortunately, I don't have any power tools in my small little apt. I've been using some rubble rock I've collected over time, but now that I'm running low, so I need to find alternatives.

I'll try NAA to see if they have any of the plugs around.

I bought a pack of shells from Walmart that I had been mounting things on. I hear some people use plastic wall anchors too, or nylon bolts, though wall anchors are cheaper, especially if you buy them from Harbour Frieght.

Sorry, don't know about loval reef plugs. I thought Gresham was setting up some frag plug making system?
