Groupbuy - Coral plugs

[dhuynh]

I'm placing an order for a couple of hundreds of coral plugs (used for fragging). If anyone wants to add to it, LMK.

They will end up to be about $0.30 each. Orders is multiples of 25 only. I will be placing the order in a couple of days.

I think it would be worth ordering from Boston since the Boston plugs are cured. The Ebay guy is selling uncured plugs from what I can see. From what I read, curing takes 30 days and isn't much fun.

[dhuynh]

I'll order from the Boston then.

From the Boston website...


Plugs/Discs are cured in fresh water for at least one month, water is changed every 1 - 2 days.
Adding freshly cured concrete plugs to salt water can sometimes start a second shorter cure cycle, therefore it is highly recommended that you continue the cure process by storing your plugs in a bucket of water (changing the water every few days) and pulling from the bucket as needed. Changing the water often will speed the cure process, some place the plugs in their toilet tank in order to constantly change the water. It is never a good idea to add a large ammount of plugs/discs to your system at one time. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding our curing process or the number of plugs you should use in your specific system.

... "some" must be the unmarried reefers... although, how would anyone notice? :D

[Agent003]

The only reason I knew that the Ebayers were uncured is because I looked at his auctions earlier today. I had plugs on the brain today too. I'll pick up glue and tweezers at Wal Mart.

Put me in for 25 plugs (preferrably cured plugs) Let me know how if I need to pay in advance, and I can send paypal, or pay cash on pickup. Thanks :)

[dhuynh]

will do. If you're fragging for PIF, I will be providing free plugs. I will be ordering about 500 plugs total. If you want extra for personal use, then cash on deliver would be cool. :)

What is the plan, for plugs or discs?

[fish fu]

I'll take all of any extra, pay, and pump out some club frags. let me know when they're here.

[dhuynh]

I think plugs are better because you can probably break off the plug and it'll become a disc. :)

I think I'll order 400 for now and see how they work. Looks like after 4 bags of 100, the shipping cost increases again.


What is the plan, for plugs or discs?

[tkang69]

Have these plugs come in yet?

[dhuynh]

Just sent the money today. $156 total for 600 plugs.
That makes it $0.26/plug

[tkang69]

Cool. Just let us all know when they arrive so we can pick up :)

[dhuynh]

Plugs are in! PM me for pickup arrangements. I will be available tonight after 7pm.

[Trickman2]
