Great idea, though i got doubts how long the suckers can hold the weight... Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2

maybe can modify to using aquarium safe magnet? great idea anyway!

[Bulldozer]

Surely it can hold the fake rock...

The thing will only fail if the Rubber loses it's original form, hardened and fail to conform to the flexibility to suck.

Just Replace the sucker.

Kind of a good idea.

Thumbs Up.

The question is where to find such fake rock with flat surface on one side?

And how much will it cost ?

[Xtrader]

Not sure will the sucker fail, will update you guys.

The rock is $16 bought at the aquarium shop next to Kovan MRT.

The magnet is very expensive about $30 and you need 2 pcs.

As long the sucker is of good quality it should be OK.

The weight is not really heavy, I will load up the frag plugs and update you guys.

Thumbs Up to you !!!!!!!!!!!

[Xtrader]

Thank You ; ) , just doing my little part to share.

[Xtrader]

The artificial rock can be bought from a fish shop next to the bowling center at Kovan MRT.

[Xtrader]

Today, I fully loaded the frag station with frag plugs, the suction cup and withhold the whole weight.

[Bulldozer]

I suppose the fake rock will be chalky when bought.

What did you do to make sure it will not cloud or contaminate the tank water ?

[Xtrader]

It's not chalky leh.

[rudy17]

very nice bro! will try when i've the time.

[ben loh]

Thanks for the idea.. going to try one..

[Xtrader]

USA is selling USD100+ you can do that for less than S$20 (using sucker instead of magnet)

[Kelvin81]

Very nice

[Bulldozer]

Just curious...

The Internal of the Fake Rock is empty.

What is good to fill it up ? Sillicon - Poisonous in salt water ?

If you leave it empty .... fish waste or residue may stay inside and rot right ???

[Xtrader]

If you are worried about the fish waste, which I don't.

Drill holes at the bottom to prevent the waste from trapping.

Aren't your tank being glued by Silicon?

[Bulldozer]

Yes.... there are several types of Sillicon.

Are all types Safe ? Or is there a specific type for Salt Water ?
