Boston Aqua Farms Frequently Asked Questions
Plugs and Disks

What are your plugs and discs made of?
Boston Aqua Farms Reef Plugs™ and Reef Discs are made of a special type of concrete commonly referred to as "Aragocrete". It's simply Type II Portland Cement and Aragonite material as an aggregate. The same basic recipe is used widely throughout the world in artificial reef systems from reef tanks to multi mile long reef restorations.

Are your Plugs and Discs cured?
Plugs and 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.
