floor tiles

[JohnnyTran]

Are we able to use floor tiles to glue our frags on? I'm tired of my zoas n paly growing over small frag plugs -. Also is there a certain brand u guys use?

I'm using the home depot tiles for my corals.

WHAT KIND?!?!?!?!?!!! I need help with that. Can you post up more info??

 

[gumbii]

any kind of ceramic tiles and stuff... even the glass ones... just scrape off the glue and fibers on the bottom of them....

 

[benjaminS]

If I dip in vinegar will it kill all the glue??

 

[JohnnyTran]

So any tile from homedepot is fine? There's ones with no glue right?

 

[benjaminS]

No theres specific ones that are ok others can kill your fish lol

Do you need help with anything??

Marble or travertine are good choices. Natural calcium carbonate that will end up covered in coralline and won't poison your tank. I was using the little squares when I was fragging stuff... A 12x12 sheet got me 144 frag tiles for about $10. They come in different sizes and shapes.

I heard zoas grow faster on glass tiles is this True?? I dont know how you'll frag glass plugs though lol

Seaside aquatics sells 3" discs. That what I use. Hth

I don't know if zoas grow faster on glass, but I know they grow pretty fast on marble. I would mount frags of zoas or anthelia on 1 inch marble squares, then put them on my frag rack with empty tiles in between mounted ones. Then they would grow onto the empty tiles I would cut the stolon, and put another tile in between. In no time, 1 frag became 2, 2 became 4, 4 became 16... Pretty soon I was giving away frags of blue anthelia with every purchase because I couldn't sell them fast enough.

[JohnnyTran]

so do you glue them on the top or bottom of the tiles -____-

 

[benjaminS]

Zoas and palys grow towards light correct? Maybe just rotate the squares to make perfect squares
