Frag racks for plugs

So I was trying to figure out away to put frags on something besides the rock. I really don't like the look of the frag plugs at all. But I came across this site http://www.mag-racks.com/ and they look promising. Has anyone ever used these before, or done something similar? After I saw them I sorta went, daaaa what a simple idea!!

Frag plugs have their benefits, 1. they can go in racks as discussed above and 2. when you put them in your sand, they do not tip over or move as easily. My snails always knock my frags around but the ones on the plugs stay put. The only thing I do not like about the plugs is that they roll around when you have them in containers.

The guy's prices are fair. I'm going to buy a couple from him, I feel if he came up with a good idea, can save me the trouble of searching for parts, and is willing to sell for a fair price. Why not support him in his efforts.

Make your own for free!

Behind grocery stores are bread racks with bread trays on them. The holes in the trays look like an exact fit for reef plugs. You get your choice of blue or brown depending on where you look.
Grab a tray that looks pretty new, cut to size with a saw, then clean it with vinegar and voila!
