Anyone have any tips on how to do a simple yet clean DIY frag rack?  Saw one today at the LFS for 25 bucks....seems a lot for a piece of plastic with suction cups...ideas?

Pretty simple to make out of acrylic, I have made a few. $25 bucks really isn't bad for a suction cup frag rack. After you make one and drill 20 plus holes you might have wished you just bought the $25 dollar one
Need custom acrylic work? give me a call, www.Elite-Aquatics.net (801)645-6386

How about the tried and true frag rack made from a $5 dollar aquarium cleaning magnet with some left over eggcrate.

Eggcrate is what $8.99 for a 4 ft by 2 ft piece?

what do you do? Glue the eggcrate to the magnet itself?  I have an extra magnet laying around...

That's it.  As long as the magnet is big enough to hold it up.  Otherwise you will need two.

Eggcrate is nice because it allows flow abet defused flow through the surface.
