I've been getting frags on acrylic plugs-no algae growth on em at all!

hmm, there was no red bubble algae ever before i had bought the new plugs. then all of the sudden about 6-7 days into being in theu would start growing a bubble or two. im 100% positive it came from the disks and plugs.
and about those plastic frag plugs, i like them but they are a PAIN! to chop off the end once you want to attack it to LR. -

I use a drummel-it works great! No harder then the other type.

I use ceramic plugs from The Alternative Reef exclusively. Hands down the best plug out there.
