Zoa Puck Mold

I decided I wanted to grow my different types of Zoas in a way that was easy to move around or even change tanks as I've had plenty of fish have the taste for them in the past.

I used Crisco to line the mold parts and even hold them together while using a 50/50 mix of sand and tile grout as my material. Needs to cure for 2 full days before removing as my first attempt simply cracked into pieces. (also, didn't use anything for a mold release)

Center plug is large enough to drop in a 3/4" frag plug. Chose that size as I have more zoas on my frag rack that came mounted to smaller plugs plus it fits the curvature of the dome better.
