which plugs wont grow algae?

[demonclownfish]

so every plug and disk i have bought so far seems to just randomly grow red bubble algae. are there any out there that wont do this? i was told they need time to cure but i thought they were already cured. any recommendations would be glady appreciated.

Good question...I have the same problem, but I get bryopsys.

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

Do you buy them new?!?
If soo then the problem is in your tank not the plugs!

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.

Do you use the Coral Frag Plugs or the Commercial Frag Plugs?

[schminksbro]

I have used both with success.

hmmm, ill check out their plugs. i had seen Ocean Wonders plugs on ebay and they looked good but i was told they are algae growing factories.
