Might need to start dumb question section

[William Lutman]

Why do all the vendors drill frag racks with too small of holes?

What side do I need to drill these holes so all frag plugs will fit?

Not all.
BlackRock racks fit anything.
Also some use eggcrate.

The largest plugs are probably the ORAs.

I make rack, I drill mine 9/16 instead of the regular 1/2 so don't have a problem

Make my own with eggcrate. Perfect size for plugs.

So they can sell you their special plugs. There used to be over 30 different gauges of railroad in the US for the same reason.

Eggcrate is good too, and a lot cheaper but black acrylic can make them pop and is easy to keep clean. Good for swap and pic tanks

Ask anyone that has a blackrockreef frag rack and you won't here any regrets. I was planning on making my own with egg crate and magnets, but the cost to do something similar to the large frag rack was only $10 or so. The blackrockreef frag racks are very clean, good size holes, and very strong magnets (ouch they hurt if you pinch yourself).
