      Eshopps Frag Rack

      I recently picked up a clear rectangular Eshopps frag rack. I'm very disappointed. The holes do not fit any of the frag plugs that my frags are on, and the magnets won't hold the rack up once the frags were finally made to fit the holes. I had to use a magfloat to help support the rack. I wouldn't recommend this frag rack to anyone unless you have very thin glass. After hearing about Marlins new frag rack from Blackrockreef I ordered there large rack to replace my Eshopps. Hope this saves anyone thinking about purchasing one some money.

      Yeah. I tried them before. I can't remember how many holes were on the rack, but there's no way you would be able to fill them up with frags. By the time the rack was half full, I would be worried that the rack would fall over.

      I bought one accidentally not noticing it's only good for glass LESS than half inch thick. Oops

      Also bought some from ebay that came very well recommended. Better, assuming you have no flow in the tank. When the rack is full of frags, the slightest current to hit it will make it flop down like a trap door, dumping all your frags like a busted open piņata

      I had the same experience as Peter! Frags were falling like candy from a piņata!!!
